I have a Ranger 3.0 ecoblue diesel 2024 here in the uk. I have drive a couple others before I purchased it and all seem to do the same thing when you first start the vehicle the Power is restricted for a little while which might be a safety precaution to protect the engine from cold I understand but after the engine is warm and I’ve been sat idling a while if I go to pull off it’s low power again for a couple of minutes until I’ve driven a little while. I don’t understand why there would be a power restriction again once I’ve already warmed the car up and not turned it off. Even the other rangers I have drove do this but no one can officially tell me why. Not the Ford dealers and I can’t find anything online. Can anyone help?

Probably something to do with the EU emissions regulations? As this is not the case for the diesel engines here in Aus, they seem to be at normal power from cold start
