mintalkin Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 it could be a stuck open egr valve, remove and clean the valve and see if things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrak1967 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Update as usual mondeo would not start so checked out the forum and some people suggested that either the camshaft sensor or the crankshaft sensor so today i changed both and car is still struggling to start.anybody got any other ideas i have pulled out the rest of my hair out.many thanks now baldy michael.
