can it be this because i think i d ont have a fuse in the seat heathering

on Bosch KE failure is
the fuel ECU. As I’ll be doing an
in-depth KE article I won’t go into
too much detail, but basically
without the Black ECU working
correctly, you have an XR3i management
system that can’t see
a turbo, but worse it can’t start
properly when cold.
The fuel ECU provides all
post starting and cold running
enrichment as well as the extra
fuel for boost conditions.
As well as failing, it’s not
uncommon for owners to
remove the fuse for the fuel ECU
by accident. Ford in its wisdom
never made a new fusebox lid
for the Bosch KE-equipped cars,
so the S2 cars have the ECU fuse
labelled as the Heated Seats.
Which fuse would you remove
if your lights failed one night?
One from a circuit powering an
option the car isn’t fitted with
is normally the first port of call.
Such a tragedy that many owners
have then hit the motorway
and lost the engine in a lean
meltdown and never found out
what caused it.
