I have now replaced crank sensor, phase sensor, air sensor and coolant temp sensor.

I have also cut all the wires from the ropey middle connector and rejoined. Unfortunately, ford seemed to have run out of brown and red and black and yellow wiring when they put my piece of crap together because all of the wires are colour coded except I have two brown and yellows and two black and reds on one side. To be fair I should have paid more attention when I took it all apart and done one at a time.

I have also taken all the connections off my battery, cleaned them and put them back on.

The car will now not start at all it turns a bit and then just stops trying.

I noticed that there was a smell of fuel when I took my air sensor out and that there was some in the vacuum hose for the FPR as well so I have now replaced this.

Unfortunately I am just starting to get angry with the damn thing so I am going to roll it down to a garage conveniently located at the bottom of the hill I live on and hope for the best.

Thanks for everyone’s help and suggestions.

I have not done a compression test as I don’t have a tester and have spent enough money and time on tools and parts. Think it will be cheaper in the long run to get a professional to look at it.
