Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and Fords! Just bought a 57 plate 90ps 230 ht lwb connect for work purposes, really liking the van except it seems very sluggish pulling away, I have to get the revs up to 1000rpm and slip the clutch to get it going, once up to 45/50mph+ its drives nice and steady but then seems to lack power going up hills etc. I can feel the turbo boosting and it feels like it wants to shoot off for a split second when the revs are in the right place.
It did have a fault code of C1750 which I believe is 'Accelerator position sensor out of range' what exactly doe this mean?
I've check boost pipes and cleaned a few sensors etc, found a vacuum pipe going to a small plastic cylinder near the air intake split/disconnected so trimmed and refitted the pipe. Also found a corroded wire on the plug which goes to the egr valve (I think!) located next to the fuel filter so have made a temporary repair although I do intend to replace the connector as soon as possible.
Any other thoughts or ideas?
I'm handy with tools and have tinkered with cars since a kid and like a challenge
