Hello everyone, 

i'm after some advice. 

I have an 05 plate Zetec S in grey, recently i started to discover some little issues with the car. 

First of all,

The car would start, and sometimes stall. If i started her and give her a rev she would be fine and let me drive on. 

I changed my plugs etc to noticed they was full of Oil. (rocker cover gasket failure) 

So i recently changed the gasket, removing the excess oil and replacing with fresh spark plugs. Hoping the excessive oil was the issue with her starting/stalling

Nope, nothing. She is stalling just as much now. She doesnt stall under load, its simply start up.. try to put my foot down, no response and cuts out will do this 3/4 times and then will start.

Am i right in thinking it's do to with fuel pump or throttle body? throttle related? She doesn't seem to pull away like she used to? but am i looking for other symptoms?

any advice is appreciated, I plan on getting the throttle body off this week and giving it a good old clean.

Have you checked for error codes to see if there is anything else?

 

If the rocker cover has been replaced, I wonder if it has been replaced correctly?
