Title: sluggish scorpio
Post by liblong on Jan 10^th, 2005, 6:03pm

Hi there,this is my first time so i will try to explain clearly. My 1995 scorpio ghia 16v auto seems very sluggish and doesn't seem to respond to kick down very well ,
also coming down the gears seems unsatisfactory. Had the gearbox checked and is all ok,but when scanned comes up with an error' p1460 wide open throttle a/c cutout circuit malfunction'(but no other errors) which is very confusing as the car does not have air con....am i right to suspect the wiring loom? Hope some kind soul can advise

Hi,

Might be unrelated problems :-/ Try cleaning the MAF http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cleanmaf.htm
If nothing else it will remove it from the suspect list ;)

I think your P1460 code relates to the wide open throttle being/not being sensed rather than A/C ???

Someone that knows will tell you soon enough ;)

Ps, maybe you should post in the OBD section.
