DannyWilson Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ok so this may take a minute, allow me to explain the history of my horrendous 2004 Mondeo 2.0 Turbo Diesel. If you can diagnose the fault and point me in the right direction you can have a case of wine because I am loosing the will!What the car did before:The first problem I had with the car was the coil light coming on and it going into limp mode every time I put the power down. I replaced all 4 injectors and it ran fine for a while... My starter motor became sticky and I had a small car fire, I replaced the starter and a piece of vacuum pipe and it once again ran fine until 6 months later...The car began to run very lumpy, I believe it had a misfire. During long distance motorway driving if I would try to put the power down the car would go into limp mode and the coil light would come on. Id get lots of white smoke on start up and black smoke when accelerating hard. Also when driving with a balanced clutch the car would kangaroo as if the power was switching on and off (but revs would not increase like a clutch slip) eventually the coil light came on and the car cut out all together. I took it to a garage and I had the following done...What I had done:Fault code readCrank sensor replacedLeak off test - results - 1 faulty injector1 New injector fittedFound swarf and filings in the fuel lines and pressure kept droppingNew high pressure fuel pump fittedPump and injector codedAll 4 injectors sent off for flow test - results - Good enough...Timing chain tested - Small amount of slack, nothing that would cause a problemEGR valve blanked off (no change in performance) so reinstatedInlet Manifold cleaned and all carbon removedFinal fault code read - No resultsWhat the car is doing now:The car now starts badly, it takes a minute to get up to speed and has an obvious misfire. Lots of white smoke especially on start up and the engine sounds horrible. From start up if I drive to the end of my road you can guarantee it cuts out every time I put the clutch in and brake at the junction, once the car warms up and I get round the next couple of corners it no longer cuts out. Distinct lack of power (but turbo seems to be running fine) and finally an obvious kangaroo with a balanced throttle just like before but worsePlease help! Me and my mechanic don't know what else to check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Have you checked the camshaft sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
