  • Ford Focus TDDI misfire 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
    forecourt to my usual, as I was on holiday at the time. If replacing the fuel does not solve the problem then I can only think that it is a problem with one of the sensors to the ECU or the ECU itself. Has anyone else had this type of problem or could throw some light onto what the cause my be. Thanks.

  • Start - Restart problems? 18 Apr 2002 (Forum)
    There has been correspondence in the past on the subject of cars being reluctant to restart after having been driven a very short distance (like out of the garage to wash it) and then switched off. All to do with the circuitry or something in the ECU. My question is, which are the best/worst cars
  • Lambda Sensor 7 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    Is it this that detects too much unburnt fuel in the exhaust as a result of cold start then stop? If so, how does it detect it? I thought it detected oxygen, not hydrocarbons. Also, if it packs up, then engine can still run, so how does it tell the ecu to shut down firing?
  • Damp Cavaliers 6 Jan 2001 (Forum)
    Reading through postings on this site I am led to believe late model Cavaliers and early Vectras suffer from problems with damp affecting the ECU connections. Are there any measures one can take to reduce this when having to leave car parked outside during the winter.
