Simon098 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This has happened twice now. I start the car up, pull away and it stalls on pull away. Engine system fault message comes up and red light comes on Turn car over and it hesitates but after turning it over for a continuous 5-10 seconds, it starts again and the message clears. I have a 56 plate mk2 1.8tdci focus Anyone else had a similar issue and be able to point me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike77 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I can't diagnose this, but does it only happen when its first started in the morning ??? If so I sometimes have the same problem. Not everytime, bit every so often, I start it, all seems fine, then when I put some load on the engine it just cuts out. No engine light in my case. And starts straight away afterwards. But sound similar ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon098 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Similar but not quite. I'm wondering if some sensors need cleaning or if something is about to fail such as the diesel common rail pump. When I go to turn it back over it sounds like it can't get any fuel but once it turns over enough and gets going it runs fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrumpy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Try cleaning the MAF sensor and check the pipes too. not sure if it will solve the problem but may be worth giving it a try.. Could be something EGR related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
