Changed Tps, Now Car Wont Start

22 April 2013 - 01:11 PM

Hi,

 

Ive been having troubles with my focus 1999 1.8 petrol ever since i bought it about a month ago. It would lose all power sometimes at high revs and it felt like it had run out of petrol all the time.

 

I was advised to change the throttle position sensor which i did yesterday and now the car wont even start at all. I put the old sensor back in and it still wont start. The battery went flat yesterday so i have charged it overnight but the car still wont start no matter what tps im using.

 

Any ideas ? its driving me mad, its gone from bad to worse :(

 

 


Focus 1999 1.8 Petrol, Odb Ii Compliant ?

21 April 2013 - 02:32 PM

Hi,

 

Im trying to find a scan tool that gives live data for a 1999 ford focus 1.8 petrol. I want to use it to read fuel pressure etc.

 

Any ideas what to look for as some people say a normal OBDII one will work and some people say it wont

 

Thank in advance.

 

 


Total Power Loss At High Revs

10 April 2013 - 06:56 PM

Hi,

 

Im having troubles with my 1999 Ford Focus 1.8 Petrol. Sometimes when i rev higher than 4000 revs the car loses all power and feels like its run out of petrol. If I then ease off and drive really softly it seems to come back to life again until I rev high again. 

 

No lights come on the dash when it does this to indicate a problem. I have replace the coil pack, leads and plugs but its still happening.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks in advance.
