Hi I'm new here ! I have a 2007 fiesta 1.4 tdci. Very randomly it has a slight stutter on acceleration or on a hill, then it went into limp mode (flashing orange exclamation mark) turned off the car for a min then was ok, now when I start the car in the morning it idles rough until it reaches temperature.

There would have been error codes stored if a warning light came on, for certain. A good diagnostic system like Forscan (about £16 with a Windows laptop, or £20 -£25 for Android or iOS) would reveal any codes present, and might help narrow the problem down.

Hi Peter yes I have a obdII tool that connects to my phone it gave me MAF and IAT faults and after the incident with the yellow exclamation mark it had a misfire fault on cylinder 3 (see screenshots for codes) i thought the misfire could be caused by either a faulty MAF or IAT by not telling the car what air to fuel mixture is optimum but since I have changed these parts I still get rough cold idle and hesitation ( no misfire as of yet.

Just to add, I have no more fault codes and have been driving for over 200 kilometers. But still rough when cold and hesitation issues. There's nothing to point me in the next direction! Before maybe changing injectors but they are the most €€ thing on the list.
