Hi, pulling my hair out with my Fiesta not wanting to start. Pretty sure its a fuel issue, but don't know why. The pump does prime, but the spark plugs are dry on turn over.

I have a ttached the readout from the code reader. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Try doing the TPS relearn on the service procedures, if the car doesn't know where the throttle is it doesn't enable the injectors

    That's what the codes are saying.

    Replace fuel with fresh fuel

    Disconnect battery earth with ignition on, leave on

    Leave 10 minutes, whilst disconnected turn on/off headlamps and press brake pedal a few times

    Reconnect earth with ignition still on

    Get in car, close door, key out, open and close door

    Handbrake on, A/C off, seatbelt off, FEET OFF PEDALS

    Start engine - do not touch pedals

    Leave engine to run for 10 minutes - do not touch pedals

    Turn on A/C - do not touch pedals

    Leave engine to run for one minute

    Key out, open and close door

    Should be OK
