I bought an 04 petrol fiesta 1300 7 month ago. From the get go it cut out when braking hard or even not so hard. It was such a good car in every other respect that i thought, what the hell Ill just keep it and fix it, in the meantime not stamping on the brakes.
Well i looked it up and got all sorts of answers, fuel sensor, fuel filter, idle speed control valve, lambda sensors, etc. One of the weirdest but simplest 'fixes' was to disconnect the battery for 20 minutes. So i tried that first and hey presto it worked. ! well for all of 4 months now its back again. So i have turned to the most knowledgeable people i know. ie: this forum.
Any one here able to help ?
ps happy holidays
