mintalkin Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 you need to get the fault codes from the ecu which any garage should be able to do, once you have the code it might be just a sensor thats playing up and an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_flame Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 you got it spot on, it is the coil in Cylinder number 4, i am waiting on a price now. Had a similar problem with my fiesta a while ago. Don't buy cheap replacements though, they fail in weeks! Get a genuine ford one costs around £30-£40 if I remember. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the feeling mines a 1.8, like being able to put my foot down and pull away easy. Glad you got it sorted mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 1.8 before this one, good car! considering the 1.8 or 2.0 TDCI as the next car as i want some think that is a bit better on fule. will end up being a Mrk2 but the Mrk3 looks amazing!
