Engine chokes, constant failure

Ford Fiesta 2005  262000 miles
Good morning all. My car is a Fiesta power 2005 and, for 6 months now, it has been presenting a huge failure, that started by appearing occasionally but is now quite frequent. It seems to be a spark plugs' failure but it is not. When starting the engine there is no problem, but after a while, the car starts failing, it loses power, chokes and I need to accelerate it so that it sets out and be careful because it suddenly speeds up. The engine trembles terribly and, if the air conditioning is turned on, it is even worse because it is ever more powerless and almost stalls, even though this has ne… Read complete

Good morning, the same thing happened to my Fiesta power 2005. It had all the symptoms you mentioned and even the engine trembled as well when the radio was turned on. After changing all the car parts like you did, I checked the computer and it was damged. I first tried repairing it, but the failure persisted. So I replaced by a new one and the problem was solved. You should check the wire that goes from the positive terminal to the relays that are on the battery's plastic box, as this was the wire that damaged the computer in my case because it was loose and, due to a constant bad contact, it damaged on its inside. I suggest you to take your computer to be checked, as every time I scanned it, a coil failure was indicated, but it turned out being that the computer did not send the electrical current to two of the injectors and that is why two cylinders stopped working. Hope it helps.

Your fuel filter must be dirty, you need to change it. If this is not the case, then your deposit might be full of impurities, which might have reached the engine.

I also have the same problem. I have open the hood after it had stalled and found that the bottom hose has shrinked. I open the radiator cap and air came out and the bottom hose was normal. This problem it has become a constant thing.

You got a misfire there, check your plugs and leads but may very well be the coil pack as they are quite a common fault

Vehicle jerks during accelerate and while releasing the gas pedal

Ford Fiesta 2011 Saloon 81000 miles
Initially suspected the transmission Mount and changed which helps in reducing the jerk at some level. But the issue still there in all gears. Tried slipping the clutch and whatnot. Where should I check?

I have a ford fiesta 1.5 diesel 2018 model, I lose power while I am driving but when I switch the car on and off it will be fine again for a few days and then it will just out of the blue lose power again while I am driving. The last week it started happening every day. What can be the problem, any advise will be appreciated
