Engine: 70 T5: - Is this probably an ETM fault?

poxleeds · Nov 20th, 2009, 20:35

Got a 2000 T5 (classic I think is the model name?)

Drove home from work last night, no problems, parked it up and said goodnight!

However when I went back to her this morning, she weren't very happy, a lumpy idle sounding like only running on 3 cylinders, ETS light and engine management light on, and would not rev over 2000rpm. Prior to this morning she's run like a dream even with 162k on the clock.

Anybody got any thoughts on this? Its ex police so I've no idea of previous history

Cheers

you need the fault codes reading first .. At best the throttle flap and housing will need cleaning but if there are any "potentiometer" or "internal fault" codes best go for a new throttle now whilst they are still "cheap" ......

One fault code shows up on a generic code reader, P1600?

ETM replaced, T5 back on the road
