Mk1 beast with cossies on![]()
My 03 ST220 has been doing the whole juddery acceleration recently! It started a while ago so I had new HT leads and a new coil pack fitted but the issue seems to remain. The leads and coilpack weren't Ford parts and apparently non-Ford parts can be a bit iffy?
The car runs nicely with plenty of power when the engine is cold and has auto choke or whatever it's called (idles at around 1200rpm instead of 800) but when the engine warms up, I start to get the juddering at low revs when I accelerate in 3rd/4th/5th etc. There's also another zone of low power at around 5000rpm when accelerating.
Plugs were changed back in April/March fyi
Answers on a postcard pretty please![]()
Mine was acting slightly similar to yours by juddering at low speeds if u look a few pages back on here and I got the proper Ford spark plugs as I was told to only use them. Is your engine light on? As mine was still juddery and it turned out to be the breather hose had completely split as is very common on the ST220 so it's worth getting that checked
Yeah I saw something about yours earlier on. I had read somewhere else that there were two different types of plugs with the same part number or something weird like that on another forum... I guess the ford plugs might be cheaper than the ford HT leads since those weren't cheap when I asked my garage to check the price in case I had to buy them lol
I've seen the engine light pop on very briefly a couple of times but generally it's not on. It's just weird that it runs just fine when the engine is still cold :/
I guess I can get them to check the breather hose too! ta
Just realised I never actually bothered to put some pictures of my new St up despite having had it for over a month now.![]()
