Ford fiesta mk 4 - Mk4 fiesta 1.25 Juddering when pulling away - fezzie mk4
Hi all,

I have a 1996 fiesta mk 4 1.25, only recently it's started doing this,
When the car has been off for a while (e.g overnight) when I go to pull away in the morning it will judder like hell and there will be pretty much no power until it gets going, also the other problem I have is that at high revs (3500-4000) the car seems to completely drop off of power
I have just brought a fuel filter so wi replace that soon but just wondered if anyone had a heads up on what it could be if it's not the fuel filter

Cheers
A

sounds like temp sender isnt working properly..have you had a code reader on it and do a live scan on how the temp sender is working..if you havent got a reader get a garage to do it..post code up as well

It will be the coil pack for sure, they are well known for burning out and kangarooing down the road with no power. £45 from any motor factor.

Cheers for the suggestions guys but I managed to fix my problem by taking of the MAF sensor and cleaning of the twos sensors that are inside.
Sorted it straight away :) thanks again and if I ever have any more problems I'll be sure to ask here again :)
