artscot79 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ide be looking more to fuel filter fuel pump side of things have you tried switching from supermarket fuel trust me some cars just dont like it go on eBay buy forte fuel treatment to clean out the injectors etc and use some Shell unleaded just regular stuff and give the car a blast and see if this helps its a cheap fix and sometimes works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsaiev1 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 It's weird you said that because I thought I could hear the fuel pump when on idle is that normal? Also I'm getting a big suction when opening my fuel cap? Now u say it does seem like fuel starvation maybe this why it isn't throwing codes? Is this a common fault? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 you will get that when the caps removed as its air in the tank from the fuel going down and air replacing the empty space and yes you will hear the pump its under the rear seat if its fuel starvationm you would get a code its likely dirty injectors if you use cheap fuel it doesnt help or its a clogged fuel filter ide try the fuel treatment and some decent fuel to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsaiev1 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi there I've tried the system cleaner and better fuel no difference at all, Could it be throttle position sensor? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 to be honest unless you want to keep spending the money youre better taking it into ford so they can hook it up to the computer it could be many many things and youll just spend a fortune going through them one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
