Hi guys. Lately I have problems with the “minimum”. The car rpm-s go to low and sometimes the engine turns-off . This especially happens when the engine is cold.
Now I know of the problems with starting the engine and rpm-s going low on all the fiesta range but I thought it was fixed with the last software.
They told me they uploaded the latest one, how can I check this?
I also have the problem, going down the hill for example, pushing the clutch down and the rpm pointer goes crazy up and down .
Regards.

never. Is it hard to do it? Is the MAF sensor somewhere in that area also, cos I know of the problems when it get's dirty. I'll take a look in ETIS about this.
If you have some other ideas let me know.
cheers.

+1 I did that when I was charged and it stopped me from cutting out too!
It's always the throttle body that needs cleaning!

thanks guys.
my next question is, how do you clean the TB ?
is it just with compressed air or I need some special cleaner/liquid?
cheers.

It'a a K&N panel and I installed it around 28 000km (now I have 30 000km) so I definitely think this is not the case ?
