Ford Mechanic Expert Needed

Featured Replies

I really hope some one can help with this, I have a focus 07 sport 1.4, which had a con-rod which decided it wanted to see daylight, so i sourced an engine, which was out of a 2009 FORD FIESTA MK8 TITANIUM 1.4, all back together no spark,

put a reader on it, no faults.

To check my obm reader i put it into Bosch, exactly the same, when turning it over shows no signal coming from sensors, Crank or cam that the engine is turning.

Replaced both sensors, still nothing.

Could it be that the focus flywheel that is on the car, is slightly different or spacing different for the sensor?

Starting to pull my hair out, i have the right voltage where i should and the system has been checked by bosch.

What am i missing, i don't understand whats different.

Before i changed the engine, the old engine was started(knocking badly lol) but so i know it must be a difference some where or something ive done.

Please help

Kind regards

Mike



Would the ECU not have to be reprogrammed to accept the new engine?

Also, I don't know if this is true, but I nhave been told that if I had to replace an injector, that the individual injector would have to be programmed to the ECU as well.

The vehicle has the same rail/injectors from the old car that matchs the ECU, the problem is no spark i have fuel

Thanks anyway

reading your post my initial thought was the flywheel if you are getting no signal from the crank sensor

Does anyone no if the flywheels are different or has a different spacing from the 09 fiesta 1.4 to the focus 1.4 07

Thanks for your help so far

Just in case this fault happens to anyone else, i found the fault, the crank sensor housing are different from model to model, so all you need to do is unbolt the old housing and put the original on. On mine the engine came out of an automatic, all that was needed was to swop them over, unfortunately though you have to drop the gearbox and remove clutch and flywheel. but sorted. Thanks for those who helped

Regards

Mick

Well done. That'll be a relief

Glad to hear it's sorted
