MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Check that the intercooler - turbo hose clamps are properly tight & check by running the engine with your ears as close as possible - listening for any hissing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 We have checked that it was the first thing I did Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Possible injector fault then i'd guess & the correct fuel pressure is not being held in the commonrail as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'd advise a injector leak off test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Doesn't the engine have to keep running to carry out that test or have I got that wrong Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yes it does - there's a how to on FordWiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 My engine cuts within 3-5 seconds of starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Probably because you have insufficient fuel pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 check the fuel filter as a starting point, also worth doing an OBD diagnostic, see if there are any errors. It could be the crankshaft position sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 May sound stupid but what would be the best way to make it correct pressure Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Fuel filter already replaced in order to get it starting again but no worked camshaft sensor replaced battery replaced my drags is only giving the error code I have a new connector on the way so I can use a serial connection obd software which can apparently do everything Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Can that be done via battery to build the pressure then Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 That can't be done this is the problem as engine cuts within 5 seconds or would be just keep starting up Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italiot Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have no problem with doing it but my engine starts revs up and then cuts out within 5 seconds and its need to be but as showing on ford wiki its say about a few minutes running Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Even if you keep cranking it for a few goes, you will at least see if there is a balance issue, all fuel output should be equal. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 That's the way I'm going to try it just waiting for the kit to arrive What would you use to close off the leak pipes you remove I was thinking gaffer tape unless I get a better idea Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Have you cranked engine over at any time without the injectors connected? Unheard of having all 4 injectors open circiut at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Sounds like a short circuit somewhere killing all four injectors like that Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
