Focus throttle valve issue

I have a Focus too. Sounds familiar! Increased fuel consumption can be a real headache. Have you noticed any changes in how your engine responds when you press the accelerator? Is it smooth, or does it feel jerky, like a hesitant tap dancer?

The engine response isn't as smooth as it used to be. It feels hesitant. Have you had similar symptoms? What was the diagnosis and how did you fix it?

Yup, the hesitant tap dancer is never a good sign. I'd bet it's the throttle position sensor acting up - kind of like a dimmer switch that's gone bad. While it could be the pedal module, I'd strongly recommend getting it checked out at a reliable workshop. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks, I'll take it to a mechanic to get it checked out. The estimated repair cost will be 205€.
