Fiesta Mk6 Starting Issues
Discussion
Hi,
About a 3 months ago, the day after buying my Mk6 Fiesta ZS, it started and then immediately died. Now, for the last couple days it has progressively been getting worse. To the point where i can't turn if off in queues because it will take about 5 attempts to start before it becomes stable.
For more detail, when i start it, it turns and starts up fine. But it struggles to stay around its idle rev and eventually dies within about 5 seconds.Or it will sometimes be ok if i add push on the gas for a bit.. This only happens when starting the car, never when idling in queues... The tachometer also glitches around and all dials are pinned to the lowest and all dash lights turn off including the ambient lighting, this is while the car is trying to idle/start and for about 10 seconds after the car has started.
While i was trying to diagnose it earlier, i got a powertrain/engine light and it was a code P2176. For the throttle body actuator/motor has failed to learn the correct position. The revs would wobble around what ever rpm i would press the gas down at. That went after about 5 minutes and it was back to normal.
Regardless it still struggles to start, earlier in a parking lot. I pressed the break and i would get an abs warning, again it randomly went. I assume the brake fluid is just low.
Is it as easy as a MAP and TPS replacement/clean or does it sound like something more like dirty fuel filter?#
Thanks,
I Hope someone can give some advice.
