Ford Mondeo - Ford Mondeo with engine problem?? - mickthehammer

Hello I have a Mk3 Mondeo With 1.8 Duratec Engine (On a 52 plate),

It loses power and has what feels like a misfire in the engine..

When driven with light's on this pinking gets worse and delay in acceleration is appalling not to say dangerous if misjudged..

I can also add that the clocks on the dashboard go mad on occasion when accelerating! no true readings just waving needles and flickering lights, including radio volume increase/decrease..

any thoughts or help???

All would be most welcome.

Thanks Mickthehammer

I'd say the place to start looking is electrical connections on the battery, fusebox and alternator. If you have one use a voltmeter and volt-drop test these areas for bad connections and bad earths.....
