john s Member 45 Member For: 19y 27d Location: Perth Posted 14/01/06 12:33 AM Share Posted 14/01/06 12:33 AM Have had my rapid for a week now and have clocked up 400km's. It is a joy to drive and gear box is getting smoother by the day. Had one incident yesterday when, going up steep incline (driveway ) in first..it stalled and when I restarted it, it was ticking over at about 800 and very lumpy. When I used accelerator it would't rev. just ticked over with no response. After freewheeling it back down driveway onto level ground (embarrasment!!!) I restarted and it was ok.Any ideas??John.

Sounds like a stupid explination, but it's the one Ford gave me..Generally stopping and restarting fixes them.Might have been that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason.Must have detected a fault (due to stalling) and needs a second or 2 to clear the fault..Maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
