Alexkey33 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 My 2011 Ford Fiesta zetec s TCDI won’t start, started chuddeding as I was driving and hasn’t started since. Code reader is showing no codes and easy start doesn’t work. New battery has also been tried and still no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny zetec Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Does the car run on the easy start then stop when it has burned it or is there nothing at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny zetec Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Are you spraying the easy start then trying to start it or is there some one spraying why someone is trying to start it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 If it won't run on easy start it's likely to be a mechanical issue, diesels only need a bit of compression to go with easy start unless you're not using enough lol. Does it sound like it's got compression when you turn it on the starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexkey33 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Use a lot..doesn’t seem to be turning over fast enough and I’m thinking a compression problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 a compression problem is normally lower compression than it should have which would mean the starter motor would turn the engine faster then it would normally do, not slower. I can't really see how the compression could get higher. When was the fuel filter last changed? What sort of code reader are you using? have you checked the cam shaft is turning with the engine (ie. checked it is not broken cam / timing belt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexkey33 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not a clue when the fuel filter was last changed only had the car just over a year but when you turn the ignition on you can hear it power up. code reader was a snap on solus pro. Is that a costly repair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 we can't say if it's costly or not. if it's a blocked fuel filter then it's not costly. if it's a broken cam belt/timing belt then it can be very costly due to the valve damage that occurs when belt breaks. but we don't know if it's either of those things. I don't think anyone is going to be able to diagnose this on this forum. It needs someone to see it in person and check things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
