Transit electric reduced power

A response delay! Yes, that's it exactly! How did you figure out it was the accelerator pedal module? And how bad was the damage? I'm worried about the replacement cost, especially since it's an electric.

Well, I initially thought it might be something else, but after some digging, the symptoms matched up perfectly with a faulty accelerator pedal module. The response delay was the biggest clue, plus the reduced power. I ended up just taking it to a workshop. They confirmed it and replaced it. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it yourself unless you really know what you're doing, especially with the electronics involved. It cost me around 265€ at the end.

Thanks so much for the info! I think I'll take your advice and bring it in. 265€ isn't the end of the world. Knowing that was likely the issue gives me a starting point. Really appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar! I had something similar happen with my Transit (although not the electric version). Check the accelerator pedal module. Sometimes the electronics inside can get wonky and cause those exact symptoms – reduced power and the check engine light. It messes with the air intake and can kill your fuel efficiency. Is there a response delay too when you hit the gas?
