2003 Ford Fiesta burning smell and loss of power when warm
Year: 2003
Categories:
Engine & Drivetrain
When the car is cold it seems fine, but when it gets warm there is a smell of burning coming from the engine via the air vents, and there is a loss of power. I tried it on the motorway and had put my foot down just to get the car to do 50. When I got back on normal roads the car struggled to get up hills, I had to keep changing gear. There was just no power at all.

If engine revs up and no power ,sounds like it could be clutch slipping .

Or possibly a blocked exhaust.
