Hi ! in short form : Have a 1998 Escort, type ANL, 1.8l 16V Zetec, Giha A problem in the engine control causes various problems such as jerking and about 10 to 20% reduced power, depending on the weather, but this is already a long history is new : The EEC can no longer be read with the diagnostic device, there is no communication. ECU was therefore already at a special company in Gladbeck for repair. They could not find anything striking, however, EEC oka y, communication works, no mistakes found. a tip from this company was that there could also be other electronic components in the car responsible for the EEC being paralyzed. Since I am an electronics engineer I know something about data bus systems, but I don’t know how there is such a thing in the escort. In modern cars there is the CAN bus over which everything is controlled, window lifter, CD changer blablabla…but in the escort I can’t imagine that… The ABS is then dead, the wheels block in case of emergency. If the engine is turned off for a short time and restarted, the warning will expire again, at least for a while. Errors cannot be read out for the reasons described above : No communication possible ! So, now you are on it, don’t let me hang ! Greeting, Marc
