Dazza03 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi Mate, Had this problem with a ford mondao at work, turned out that it was something to do with the fuel pressure being to low. The kangarooing is apparantly because when you accelerate there is not enough fuel going to the engine. Failing that mate it could be the EGR valve. Hope this helps Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perky Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 chers m8 how did you fix it , and what do you do with the erg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd agree with fuelling. Possibly fuel pumps on its way out or injectors. If the EGR is faulty it normally shows as extremely heavy smoking under acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perky Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 why where is the pump , is it in the tank, how much do you thoink it will cost, it is a bit smoky tho to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 the pump is in the engine bay. Not 100% sure on the price but its definitely around the £300-£400 area for a new one. Ford diesel engines are a bit smokey, if it was the EGR it would be seriously smokey. Even then dont pray its the EGR cos they arent cheap either, cheaper than a fuel pump but still at least £150. I'm 90% its pump related though matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
