Ford Mondeo 2.0 Duratec 2001 - Loss of power under load #Archived Message

Hi All, Says Zetec on back of vehicle, but when engine cover pulled out from workshop said Duratec. Visited late yesterday afternoon to read codes. Will be returning to it next week. Only one code related to thermostat heater circuit-present, though it cleared OK. I feel this is probably irrelevant. This car belongs to garage who do taxi/school runs, so got details of problem 1st hand! Only happens when hot, and probably after load at medium high rpm. Complete loss of power and can't maintain speed. Doesn't cut out, and I believe, idles OK! Then have to wait for it to cool before correct operation again! Never plays up when stationary in workshop. Wondered if problem with variable induction system in inlet manifold, or any other ideas please? Regards, Nick Bell
