supercmaxer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 For a few weeks the car has been surging on start up, sometimes it take 2 turns of the key to start. When I turn the key the first time it turns over, starts but the revs are struggling to rise however after about a second or two it idles all ok. So far I have changed the tempeture sensor, the IAT sensor with no clearer on what the problem is. Cleaned the MAF sensor, cleaned the turbo sensor, I have taken of the anti shudder valve and cleaned that but how do I know it's working correctly?? Oh and I had the glow plugs changed begin of the year. Not yet checked the glow plug relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When was the fuel filter last replaced? I am thinking it might need replacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercmaxer Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Last year, the manual says every 3 years, I've seen a video showing the exact problem on you tube. Look up starting problem ford focus 2.0tdci to get a better picture of what I'm having it may shed more light on it. The comments made were to change the throttle body.

jeebowhite Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Throttle body is one thing but you could clean it rather than replace it I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercmaxer Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Lol, I can assure you it's clean, used a toothbrush with EGR cleaner. It's brand new well close as lol. I've sanded inside the main body to stop it sticking but still sticks. I think there is a pipe or small hose missing from underneath the pressure sensor but can't find a decent picture to confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That's the breather hose I believe and if that's missing it would not surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
