Focus TDDI Starting Issues
X plate Mk1 Focus
Had starting issues for a while
Battery is fine, glow plugs changed, cylinder head temp sender changed
Cranks for 20 - 25 seconds before it fires
Lift pump and hi pressure pump seem fine
Normally park the car facing up my sloped drive, it with engine higher than the fuel tank, as an experiment I reversed into the drive so tank higher than the engine, and hey presto starts on the button.
So my guess is the fuel is draining back into the tank - should there be a non return valve stopping this?
Any help appreciated
