rockett Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Had an intermittent fault on car snd had 3 garages look and no closer to the problem. So finally decided to book into ford main dealer for diagnostics at the price of £100. How good are ford at finding issues with car. Will there diagnostic software find any electrical faults for sure? Or there system no better then any indie garage? Just worried ill be £100 lighter and no better off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick85 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What's ur problem depends on the mechanic if it intermitting most likely wiring issue an very hard to pinpoint if no faults an problem not occurring while they have the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockett Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 They will defiently be able to make it do it, it happens every time you drive the car but just at random times ive been told it fuel related and if like u say electical tht narrows it down abit. i think its fuel pressure sensor but with out any codes or live data im !Removed! in the wind. You think they will be able to rule out the sensors if its not them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick85 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think u should get injectors tested if it intermitting they could test them an tell u they fine an u waste load money was there a fault code why he say test injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockett Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 No fault codes or anything! Just said they can't find anything wrong and the next step would be to test the injectors. The car getting progressively worse and had to call the aa out to tow to a garage. They said they think it could be a faulty fuel control valve\solenoid. See wat garage say Monday wish me some luck lol Sent from my Hudl HT7S3 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick85 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Imv valves do give trouble but to cut out an start again itself sounds like guess work they should drive car with live data an wait for problem to occur check readings stupid just start throwing parts at it special when it's out ur pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
