Upon acceleration the following lights illuminate once the engine reaches 3000-4000 RPM:

Engine Lights

A message; "Engine Fault" appears on the dash screen. Once this happens, the engine will no longer rev beyond the 3000-4000 RPM range.

On a few occasions this has also resulted in a steering assist fault, where the power steering cuts out, and usually this also causes the engine to idle, and will not rev at all.

I have the following Ford Fiesta Model

Ford Fiesta Mk6 Diesel

Various mechanics have looked into this issue and all come up with different theories on what might be causing the problem:

  • Faulty mass airflow sensor (this was replaced - no solution to faults)
  • Faulty alternator
  • Faulty ECU
  • Faulty fuel pump

Does anyone have any experience of this issue, and what might be causing it?
