Problem with 2015 Ford Ecosport petrol engine: abnormalities in check engine light, power, and increased fuel consumption

Jerking on acceleration

Poor fuel economy

Unsteady engine

Check engine light on

Loss of engine power

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2015 Ford Ecosport petrol engine. The check engine light is on, the power is diminishing, the engine is running rough, it twitches when accelerating and consumes a lot of fuel. The intake manifold pressure sensor comes to mind as a possible cause. Have you already had any experience and can perhaps give me a few tips for troubleshooting? I would like to know how you solved this at the mechanic and what your experiences were. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Ford Fiesta. Must admit I have little knowledge of cars so have been to the mechanic at the garage. The problem with my car was "The intake manifold pressure sensor wiring harness is open or shorted". It cost 95 euros to solve the problem. Could you possibly give a few details about your car? Year of manufacture, mileage, etc. could be helpful to give you better advice. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the answer. My Ecosport has now covered almost 121,678 kilometers and the last inspection was in the spring. I've always done all the inspections so far and haven't had to have anything major repaired. But that sounds very plausible with the wiring harness, thanks for the tip. I'll definitely take it up with the mechanic and see what he says.

Hey, no problem. My Fiesta had the same problem at a similar mileage. So it could well be the intake manifold pressure sensor. Just take it up with your mechanic and ask him if he can check the wiring harness too. And don't be put off by the high costs, safety comes first and you'll save a lot of money on gas when the problem is solved. Keep at it and let us know what you find out. Good luck with it!

Hey, thanks again for the support. I'll follow your advice and definitely have the wiring harness looked at. Maybe I can solve the problem that way and save some fuel again. I have now made an appointment with the mechanic and will keep you up to date after the appointment. Thanks again and see you soon!

It sounds like it could be a problem with the starter motor. If the battery is good but the car won't start, the starter motor might be failing. You could try tapping the starter motor lightly with a hammer to see if that helps. If it does, you'll need to replace the starter motor. However, it's best to have a mechanic check it out to be sure. Please let us know how it goes.
