Asked by Harry1108 Mar 13, 2016 at 08:54 AM about the 2011 Ford Fiesta SE
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Suddenly while driving my Ford car accelerator become non responsive, it
will come into idle position, I hit the accelerator to ground nothing
happened, now a days it keep on happening on every 2-3 days.
I went to Ford guys they are saying everything is fine, nothing is coming out
in scan also, they said change the battery as your car battery is weak due
to that Sensor sometime become non responsive, I changed that also but
no luck, problem still persists.
Please let me know if any one has any idea about it?

no its happened in normal temperature, normally when I drove about 10-15 minutes it start happening, if I off the engine for 10-15 minutes and start again everything is working fine again. Also in normal condition gas pedal is not so responsive.
Hello my car doesn’t do it very often but it does do the same thing and a wrench light pops up on my 2012 Ford Fiesta. Did you happen to find the problem?
Same problem with my 63 plate automatic Ford Fiesta. No light appears on dash but when the car is stopped placed in park mode, hand break applied when trying to rev the car will not go above 1 1/2 revs foot flat to floor still nothing any advice is much appreciated if left for a hour or so starts and will rev normally up to 5 when parked intermittent fault can go 3 week and then can happen again
I have a 2012 Fiesta doing the same thing. No engine codes come up on the scanner. Drove it with the scanner plugged in and a mechnic monitoring all systems. Throttle pedal dropped out. Still no codes. Checked the TPS, it is reading 11.2. I lift my foot, no change. Press down to the floor boards, no change. Third time through that, the accelorator acted normal and we drove away. Since the TPS is reading good through all of this, I am assuming it is the pedal or the harness. There is a TSB out for rewiring this harness (TBS 13-11-15). But after reading through the TSB, I don't think it applies in this situation. Can anyone help?
anyone find an answer to this?
Petal position sensor or throttle body.
