Why does my 14 focus lose power under acceleration?
Crud in the bottom of the fuel tank blocking the fuel filters because it was nearly run out of fuel. Engine starves for fuel under acceleration, but runs fine when just cruising. My 14 focus just had a similar issue.
What causes sudden loss of power under acceleration?
If it is air starvation check the air intake pipes. Once had one that collapsed under load shutting down the air into the engine. One of the ribs had come out of it (it is like a fabric type air pipe from the filter to the engine). Just remembered; had a new water pump and cam belt fitted at MOT in January.
Why is my car losing power at low speeds?
If the pressure is low the fuel injectors will not be able to spray the correct amount of fuel into the combustion chamber and that will result in a loss of power. A faulty fuel pump will not pose problems at low speeds but when you are looking for quick acceleration you might be left wanting.
Why is my motorcycle losing power at high speeds?
If you have a fuel injected bike with acceleration problems, your likely culprit is poor timing advance. The faster you go on a motorcycle, the sooner your ignition coil will tell the spark plugs to fire. More firing is performed at higher speeds whereas slower speeds have less firing. The engine timing is the mechanism that controls this.
