Question:
my fiesta cuts out while slowing down towards roundabouts/lights ect also while driving normaly the power backs off and will not pick up speed it is almost like the brakes are on. This has been going on for 2 years on and off, work gets done and the fault seems to hide for awhile then comes back normaly within three months. Had many parts replaced, valves cleaned out/new valves/new speed sensor/new throttle/new relay which the fault codes had to travel through, at the end of my teather and bank balance ford dealler has now said have i considered a new car need ideas has anyone had problems like this and a solution been found if not i think its the scrap yard thankyou

can anyone tell me what is the fuel efficiency a skoda octavia 1.9 TDI gets?
I had the same problem with an old Escort Encore 1.3, and like you it kept cutting out whilst slowing down at junctions and roundabouts. The fault was intermittent and i can honestly say that no matter how often it did this when ever it went into the garage they could not find a fault. I eventually scrapped the car off as it was 1995 registration plate and had no value. not sure about you but i did find it a little scary when you go to pull out on a roundabout and the car would stop in the middle of the road. Sorry i can't be much help but my advise to you is if you feel unsafe in the car then get rid!Hi I had the same problem with a fiesta from the year, it actually was the idle engine valve i had it replaced and then got shot of it! I'd suggest you do the same. failing that get some dodgy person to nick it and burn it out for an insurance job........

I had an Escort with the same problem - many bills and repairs (so-called by Ford) later...I found out that it was a fault with the electrical/electronic link to the injectors!

Why is the Chevrolet Caprice called the "Official Car Of Freedom" in Saudi Arabia?
It may also be an intermittent Engine Management Unit fault! Most of these cars are controlled by electronic components now and they can be a pig to track down - I don't think it has or had anything to do with valves, speed sensors or anything like that! I would suspect the above or an Engine Idle Valve problem.
Chevy Trailblazer SS vs. Jeep SRT8?
My Tigra does the same!!I boot it up to the roundabout, brake, the revs drop and the pesky car cuts out! I can usually slam it in 2nd gear and bump it!
I always know when its going to happen as my engine management light comes on and it starts spluttering!
Its been hooked up to the computer and nothing shows up, its had a new engine, all filters cleaned and my ex was a mechanic so it was looked after!
There is no pattern, like weathers etc, and can be fine for 5 weeks and then every day it does it!
Had loads of bits replaced but no!
I have been told its a common fault with no reason! There must be!
I do sympathise as its so embarrassing! My Tigras an N reg!

your slowing down, foot off the gas, so all it can be is fuel related... check the tank breathers, and the fuel filters, check the AED, and the high pressure resovior.
