I have a Ford Escort van, 1.8 diesel ( non-turbo ). Sometimes when I'm cruising along at part throttle, it suddenly rockets off of its own accord ! Strangely enough, it accelerates faster when it does this than when I put my foot flat on the floor, its as if the engine suddenly finds another 50 bhp from somewhere...
At first I thought it was the clutch slipping and then catching again, but I've put a new clutch in it and it hasn't cured it.
Not very good with diesel engines, so any help appreciated
Do you think that there might be some sort of limiter fitted, that is intermittently switching on and off ? It feels fast as f--k when it happens !
Cheers,
Ross.
P.s, no sarcy comments about owning a Fix Or Repair Daily, its my company van workhorse...!
