Would'nt start, left overnight and started first time. Drove around estate for 15 minutes and cut out when turning a right hand bend. Power steering gone, the lot!
Took off fuel lines to fuel filter and it started again,managed to get home (2 miles)
Let it idle for 5 minutes and it cut out again. Left overnight, came back next morning and it started 1st time. Died after 10 minutes before even getting up to temperature.
Decided to change fuel filter thinking this was the cause.
Got it going again, drove around the estate a few times but stalled again. Would'nt start so left overnight. Next morning would'nt start, battery getting low, called out AA who checked fuel to rail, ok good pressure and a slight pulse to glo plug electronic leads.
Tried different key still did'nt start, put on diagnostic machine faults found P0191 fuel rail pressure, P0204 injector CR, P0340 cam sensor (twice) and P8888 control pressure injector and finally P1000 manufacturers specified fault.
I think it may be the cam sensor because there is fuel in the rail but it's not going down through the injectors, but what's this P1000 fault?

If it hasn't had the late-type cam sensor fitted; change it anyway. Rather a lot of old-hat EOBD codes there and no Ford-specific ones - what was reading it? [And what is P8888?]
P1000 is "Readiness checks not completed." it come up every time the codes are cleared on any Ford until it's been driven a bit - your garage didn't know that???

P8888 was control pressure injector it was the AA who read it, he wasn't very hot on Mondeo, by the way when I try to start it now with a booster jumper the rev counter needle is wanging right round back to nought! this didn;t happen before. Is this due to low battery?
|
Maybe get it read with a proper scanner. [P8888 doesn't exist.]
The pod is re-booting because of the low voltage.
|
Sorry! Mis-read AA sheet, too much red wine, supposed to be on holiday now!
P28888 - control pressure injector? does make any sense?
|
Never heard of that one either; maybe a typo?
|
Changed the cam sensor today, started 1st time with a jump, left to idle for half an hour then took out for a drive, did 30 miles, seems o.k.
Cost £17.00, took about 5 minutes to replace.
Keeping fingers crossed!
