went out in the fez today and the revs where droppin low,i mean low to the point where she was stallin almost every time i came to a junction anyone had the same prob cuz i need help on this 1 cheers matthew

[rankinator]

I just had this problem in the last few weeks. But I topped up on oil/radiator water and it seemed to be fine. Used tyo stall about 6 times a session, now its stalled once in 3 weeks and that was 'cause my oil was a bit low.

Give it a shot mate, let your engine get cold, check your oil and top up if need be.

If it's happening when your approaching junctions it could be your idle speed control valve.

Try cleaning it with carb cleaner or replacing it.

Ive also been having this problem, ive put it down to being the fan draining my power it only happens when my cars warm and the fan kicks in

sorry to say this mate but that a sure sign your engine has exsessive piston ring wear and is the start before the the piston seize, pston ring go boom or the whole engine going ka boom my 1.1 did this for a week before i was driving it on the motorway and boom my 3rd piston rammed through the side of the cylinder block and killed itself

No it isnt necessarily mate.. Its a common thing with fords and can be easily sorted 99% of the time

[HCS PIMP]

yeh but i always get the retarded 1% makin it go boom

[rankinator]

I was having this problem, opened up my idle control valve and sprayed with carb cleaner (as suggested before), been running fine ever since.

[HYBRIDFEZ]

baffled as to how hcs pimp came to the conclusion that the rings are worn because its got a tickover fault???????????

and if rings are worn it would not make the pistons smash through the block.......... lack of oil, overheating, detonation, cap bolts snapping, prolonged misfire etc... would cause that surely?

[Straight882003]

well my pistons and rings have gone and i have been drivin my car loads only thing i have to check is oil level but apart from that the cars sound lol
fixed stallin by doin a service - plugs, oil, filter ect and the fez aint missed a beat since WEIARD WORLD OF TURBOS i guss
cheers for ur help any way matthew
