Hi,

The issue I am having is when setting off from cold and only lasts a few seconds. After starting the car and setting off in 1st, 80% of the time the car stutters or kangaroos for a few seconds like it is loosing fuel. If I thrash off in first it doesn't seem to happen, also it doesn't happen all of the time but most of the time.

It has been in to ford about 4 times and they can't find any issues, no fault codes, they have flushed the fuel system, changed the fuel filter and the car has also been serviced twice but this has not solved the issue. I have also taken it to a local independent garage for them to check but they couldn't find anything also. It doesn't happen when hot, only when cold after the initial startup.

I looked for hours on forums but couldn't find anything that sounds like the same issue I'm having, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Oops, my bad, It seems I had already posted about my issue in January this year. I apologise for the double post. Needless to say I'm still having the issue so any extra help would be great.

I'm having a similar issue these last few days as the temp has dropped but I,ve just put it down to the drop in temp and to do with the fuel temp sensor like you soon sorts it's self out so not really botherd by it diesel over the years have been subjectible to the cold anyway so in some respects it can be expected if it was affecting the running of the engine when warm I'd be concerned but it sorts itself in no time .
