Ford Fiesta type of juddering
Variant: 1.4 manual
Model Year: 2002
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hello
Hope someone can help. It would be much appreciated.
Recently my fiesta has started to judder when you first change into 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and sometimes fifth. It feels like you have changed into the next gear up to early (thats not the reason in this case though!). Its almost like the car is holding the power back, the judder isnt violent just slight and holds back the poser, then it kind of goes and the car accelerates liek normal. Sometimes it hold back power i nthe gear fro some time. On a few occasions when it is doing it bad the yellow engine warnign light comes on. Only once, the electronic accelerator warnign came on. Its not due to low petrol either. Im stuck, and when it went for a full service the emissions etc were fine. The engine sounds fuine when you rev it out of gear, it seems to be when its in gear.
Much appreciated for readign my long explanation!

Hi Mark
My 98 reg Fiesta Zetec is having exactly the same problem as yours! It's started juddering when I try to accelerate and move up through the gears. Did you manage to identify the problem?
