05 1.6 Acceleration stutter - Arthur45
Hi,

I recently posted a note about a slight engine hesitation. I have now narrowed it down. I have a 05 1.6 Focus 100BHP. When accelerating from a rolling start, speed around 15 to 25 mph, 2nd or 3rd gear, using about 1/4 throttle, I get a slight feeling that the engine is stuttering until about 2000rpm. It is most ntoiceable when the engine is cold or going up a gradient. Above 2500rpm the car pulls well.

Someone replied to my original note saying it the MAF sensor. Anyone have any other ideas? Where is the MAF? Can it be cleaned? My car did suffer with water getting in via the washer jet mounts on the bonnet. I have changed the plug leads and plugs.

Thanks

Hi,

My focus 05 has the exact same problem and am struggling to diagnose the fault, did you have any luck? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
