The problem is that it will start, no problem, but after a few seconds it will either kangaroo hop madly or stall or just sound very throaty and that it is in danger of stalling. I had problems with the spare keys when I bought it, and someone suggested using the master key. I have used the master key and it did improve things - at least car did not stall. I have had both the cold start sensor and the lambda sensor replaced, all to no avail. This week, the alternator blew. The guy who came out to get it to the garage offered to programme the spare keys for me. I then used the spare once the new alternator was in - worked great for a bit - but on second journey the hopping was really bad. I went back to using the master key today and all right this morning but when journeying later (especially when car warm) hopping terrible. HELP!

It sounds like the engine management
system is breaking down,
it happened to me on a new ford
luckily replaced under warranty
good luck..and yes the keys do
tend to wear out, and need replaced.

U have a big prob m8, it will work out cheaper in long run by taking it to a ford dealer as they are the people who are only supposed to be able to programme ur key for u. By calling Tom Dick and Harry motors in trying to fix the prob costing u money, the job may be fixed by ford in less than an hour and around £100, thats if its the key thats at fault. One thing that has come to mind is, u bought the car 4 months ago and u have had the prob since u bought it, chances are the person who sold u the car had that prob, and i think it could be the ecu which is a bit expensive as it has to be changed rather than repaired, so may be the previous owner couldnt afford the repair so he or she has sold the car and the problem on to you. I have that gut feelling now I am correct re the ECU, electrical control unit its basically a computer. please let me know how u get on. good luck m8, i hope i am wrong re the ECU.

confident they try to close money owed down by skill of reporting as plenty and as a good distance back as they could on the only account they are concentrated on. for historical violations - why did no longer y/a %. it up back then? posters could have forgotten the offensive cloth months later. even nevertheless it could't be against the regulations so the person can charm the record. there could desire to be time decrease because of the fact no one recollects the cloth in question and it will become a burden for the person to charm archive q&a's. even nevertheless, if the cloth replaced into offensive then its the accountability of y/a to delete it. yet going back over 6 months is controversial and needs to be addressed by skill of y/a as to the time decrease mandatory.
