The 7.3 Power Stroke engine is a turbocharged diesel unit, so the turbo failure is one of the most obvious reasons the problem could occur. Checking the turbocharger is one of the first things you should do. Air intake problems. The power is formed when air is mixed with fuel and is sent to combustion chambers.Rough idle. High idle RPM. Rough/Slow Acceleration. Check engine light. Misfires and backfires. High pitch noise from the engine. The engine is very sensitive to calculating the air entering the engine, to calculate the right air-fuel mixture. Therefore, a vacuum leak causes a lot of different symptoms. Ford Focus 1.8tdci - Juddering at low revs light acceleration - car67 : Hi, I have a 1.8tdci in my mondeo, and I had the same issue, but at 2500revs, I would get a loss of power and juddering- panicked me in case valves, or dirt in the fuel line?
It may be a good idea to get a Ford-compatible code reader and find out if you have any fault codes . The loss of power may be the car going into "limp home mode" - loss of power may, or may not have anything to do with the turbo, loosing power does not mean you have "lost" the turbo or the turbo has not "kicked in" -
Hi All, My mondeo MK3 2003 Zetec 1.8 petrol with 97k. When I accelerate in low revs it gives a couple of short and sharp judders, after about 2.5k revs it doesnt do this.
