edd1910 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hi all. I am at the end of my tether. For years when the car has been sat it has taken a few or many attempts to start it. It would start and cut out. When it stayed running it would run rough for a while and then even out and run fine. Came to it last week and it would start but cut out every time. I have had it plugged in and is showing high fuel pressure at the rail. I changed the sensor for a volt sensor and now the engine just cranks. Doesnt fire. And yet with the old sensor re-installed it will fire and cut out. Any clue where to start looking please. Thanks Ed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecosport2019 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Buy from ford, the fact that it runs with the original tells you its a poor quality part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I will order one. But what would cause this problem to have been present for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was done at 85k it is now at 90k the starting problem has been present since 30ish k. Used to only be an issue in cold weather. But this last year it has been every time it has been stood.
