Stoney871 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 They may not have seated your fuel filter or air filter properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie999monkey Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 the problem was there before i had service.i thought the service would get rid of the problem.the diagnostic m/c does not pick anything up either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Is the car a diesel or petrol engine? If its petrol then could be the coil pack, HT, plugs or cam sensor. Diesel could be the hoses to the turbo, clogged dpf if fitted. On either of them it could be a dirty EGR valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie999monkey Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 its is petrol many thanks for your help i will try these next although did have coil pack done in february Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It may be worth getting a diagnostic done, it sounds like fuel pressure to be honest. Whether or not any codes will come up I don't know but you may get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 hi sorry it took so long to get back but i had amother coil pack fitted and it has been fine upto this week ,the same problems are happening and the amber warning light has come on. what could be happening as itlooks as if the coil pack has gone wrong again . regards are you using genuine parts? i recommend you do as the focus doesnt seem to like aftermarket leads, plugs or coil.

ollie999monkey Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 hi thanks for replying i don't think they are genuine parts as only cost £50 to be fitted from my local garage but did supply and fit the new one in feb for free. but what else can be affecting the coil pack to play up again as this garage always uses these parts and have said something else must be causing this to happen.it is booked in later this week as amber light is still on so maybe they will find something then.just wondered if anyone had any ideas as this is started to bug me now.
