Kris79 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi I have a mondeo 2.0 lx tdci (130) and when I turn the car on it sits at around 500rpm for between 10-30 seconds with the battery and engine management light on, yet after 10-30 seconds both lights go off as the revs pick up to normal tick over? Any advice...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Could be as simple as the Mass Air Flow sensor needs a clean, have you got any error codes on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris79 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi mate, no it's been on 3 different diagnostic machines and only re first one brought up a fault of the EGR valve so changed that and it's no different, since then re other two machines havnt brought up any fault codes it had a few people scratching there head!

stevegtuk Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Did you clean the MAF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris79 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 No still at work mate, another lad said to clean the EGR valve, another said to get the injectors recoded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 you could do all of those to be honest, cleaning the MAF is easy with electrical contact cleaner, the injectors can be recoded with ELM Config, and the EGR could be removed and cleaned thoroughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris79 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ok cheers all that went straight over my head mate I know nothing about cars! But I will suggest it to my mate, thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Its really an easy process, it involves a starhead screwdriver (torx) and some electrical contact cleaner, and then drown it in the stuff :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondyghiax Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It will 100% need injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
