As the title says! Pull off in first gear (obviously) and it goes then boggs down then goes again. Its very noticable and makes it look like Im a crap driver when it comes to clutch control lol (no woman driver jokes please!!! ) So any ideas?? Jay replaced his lambor sensor? (spelling??? eh i dont know) anyway could that be the problem?? FORDS...... who'd buy one.. honestly?? haha

plugs, leads, coil pack, lambda sensor, crank sensor could be a number of things
has your engine light come on at all?

yeh just do the easy and cheap stuff like lamba sensor, plugs, leads etc. my 2 litre zetec mondeo does the same at around 1500rpm when you have your foot flat to the floor. revs up to 1500rpm then engine hesitates for a few seconds kickes out a load of black smoke (un burnt fuel and only relised this when my mate was following me and asked "is it a diesel?") then clears and revs normal again. ive done plugs and leads etc the other day no different so changing lamba sensor is my only option left. so hopefully that should cure it.

lol Jay says on the computer at his work i'd be looking at £1200 (at auction) thats abit depressing seeing as iv had her for 2 years and bought it for £4100! crappy.
I think it needs a new bonnet sensor so I'll get it replaced. Bloody bloody car!!!!!!!
