MARLEY Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi All My focus 2.0l tdci is really strugling to start once it is warm, if i keep ignition key turned it will eventually run.I have checked all pipes and fittings etc and all seems ok, the only other thing it does is hesitate on tickover every 5 seconds or so. Any help or advice will be appreciated Thanks in advance Paul Stalybridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already changed fuel filter and made no difference, its one of those annoying little problems which will eventually get sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 thanks for reply where is it located and can it be tested ?? Its located where the gearbox meets the engine, it picks up a signal from the flywheel. Not entirely sure if it can be tested though im afraid.

Not entirely sure if it can be tested though im afraid. will have a look in morning, hopefully no rain, if it is faulty will it cause problems starting ?? i was thinking a fuel problem. a quick test would be to swap sensors with another focus.

Regards Paul I've not heard of many problems with them on the focus but certainly other cars, and causing poor running when the sensor gets hot - starts breaking down certainly swapping the sensor or getting one from a breakers yard would help.
