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

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!

Hi, my 2015 or 2016 Rord ecosport 2015 or 2016 car won't start,it just sounds a fooled. Battery checked,it's good.The lights in the dash come on when I start the car.Can you tell me kinda what would be the cause?

(Translated from Romanian)

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.

Hello, the fault light comes on my ford ecosport 1500 diesel 95hp 2015 122000km. When I exceed 3500 rpm in 5em or when the road goes down. When I turn the ignition off and back on, the fault disappears and then reappears after a while. I took my car to the dealer and was told the timing belt had to be replaced, and the belt was replaced. Problem still there, now I'm told turbo to replace it's getting expensive. Who could tell me more about this problem, especially since my vehicle is as good as new. Thanks in advance

It sounds like your issue might be related to the turbocharger or its components, but before replacing it, check for simpler issues like a clogged air filter or a vacuum leak in the turbo system. These can cause similar symptoms and are less costly to fix. If these checks don't resolve the issue, it might be worth getting a second opinion from another mechanic. Keep us updated on your progress, and feel free to ask if you have more questions.
