Ford Transit mk7 limp mode

[natty94]

Hi all,

I have a problem with my recently acquired mk7 transit, intermittently it’ll go into a kind of limp mode where you have limited throttle and won’t rev much past 1500 rpm, it also hunts from time to time despite fresh air and fuel filters, I’m debating on changing the maf, throttle pedal and throttle body in an attempt to try and fix the issue.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you scanned it for fault codes

I haven’t as I only have a cheap Chinese scanner that isn’t great

Valve on fuel rail and one on pump very common and cause same issues

Are they replaceable without buying a whole pump or fuel rail?

Yes. One screws into end of fuel rail.
Other is held onto pump with a bolt.

Great, might try those before doing the throttle bits
