Hi please describe your problem

I no longer have teh car but my mate has it working.

What we did.

Well i have other posts on other sites that helped more than here. so look up my username and mondeo and see what pops up to get a answer or solution.

one thing is you cant bleed air out as it is diesel if same as mine. We never knew if it was the fuel or injector. but we took out injector and cleaned it ourselves. still no change so sent ot off and got it back and worked brill for one day. then same problem back but worse and would cut out when driving.

Now about easy start, my advice is try not to use it as it was worse after the 3rd time of using it.

What i did do is remove the egr valve as it was clogged with carbon. cleaned it through. bought a £4 long brush to clean out the exhaust recycling thing after i removed it as it was also think with carbon inside. Took of the manifold, cleaned it through, (found a leaf inside and thick chucks of oil).

Result works now like it did before it all happend. still problem with the injector though even after spending 80 quid to get them to clean it.

but it works and my mate has had little problems with it.

i bought a f card reader to check on the diag of the car myself and all pointed to the injectors being the main reason.

so before you go about making things worse i would suggest getting a f super card reader for your make and year. spending that £30 now will save you £300 when the garage tells you a lie and gets you back in to work on something else. This way you know exactly what is wrong and and can work on fixing it.

thanks
