Am having problems with my x types Kick down the car splutters there's no acceleration and going up hill , well it won't

Engine idles fine revs fine doesn't seem to misfire no Engine warning lights up

X type 2.0 v6 sport 2003 65,000 miles

Anyone got any ideas

Thanks

 

Clogged fuel filter?

Cheers

Though it could be misfires - the car will normally back off long before you feel or hear them.

Worth a check for pending codes.

BTW, wrong sub-forum.

 

Thanks lads
i'll try fuel filter
was also thinking misfire
i will try my code reader to see if any are stored
is it difficult to replace fuel filter and spark plugs ?
cheers

 

possibly the throttle body needs to be removed and cleaned
clean mass air flow sensor
keep driving hard until it gives u a check engine code

 

Cheers

Just one thing when i bought the car it was low on petrol, light was on, i put £10 in and light is still on , theres no leaks, i'm wondering if its sucked up some dirt from tank, if it was gearbox ( auto) would i get an engine light come on if there was a fault with it?

Also how involved is it to change fuel filter and plugs

 

13 codes logged cleared them off and 2 remain wont clear


code 1108 and 1000 pending

but 1108 stored when running

anyone shed any light on this

 

Heres the 13 that were logged

0306
1314
0102
0112
0341
0346
1108
1549
1646
1647
1603
1000
1108

Only 1108 and 1000 remain they wont erase

 

P1000 = ignore = incomplete drive cycle (after clearing codes)

P-1108 =
P1108 EMS

Would this cause no kick down acceleration and a complete failure to go uphills ?

Found the Map sensor cleaned it plugged it back and bingo no code, lets see how it drives next

 

a sticking flap in the throttle body caused by carbon buildup is a likely cause.
remove throttle body.
clean with the appropriate cleaner and replace.

 

Cheers
I'll have a look at throttle body next week
now the Map sensor has been cleaned I don't get the code anymore but EML Led doesn't work
Would a dodgy Map cause above symptoms

just a few more things

the remote key fobs won't unlock
they lock / boot release and lights button work tried the ignition flap that's ok
it won't pair the fobs with car either

also drivers seat electrics don't work
are these common faults ? And easily fixed

 

Probably best to start new threads if you are having other unrelated issues to allow you to get quicker and better responses to those issues.

 

fuel filter is easy, 5 minutes
spark plugs are a pain as intake and other stuff has ro be removed to access them. takes about 2 hours the first time
