Hi old member here not posted much and it was years ago i joined , Just got another ford its a Mondeo 2004 2.0 tdci it starts fine but will not rev till about five - ten seconds , iv done lots of looking on the net for this problem and no one is clear and simply said what it is Once the car starts and the 10 seconds is up the car is a little bit lumpy but goes fine with lots of power

Phoned Ford for a laugh and the guy said he thinks its a faulty injector and he said its better to change the four of them and Ford price is about £2000

Iv looked and seen you can do this your self with a laptop and F interface SUPER 2 Scanner is it easy to do and can you mess it all up ?

Iv also seen you can get a software update for the ecu but do i need to go to ford ? Can i do that my self and if so can you do it with the SUPER 2 Scanner or is it totally different thing all together ?


Is it an injector problem or is it needing the software updated ?

Thanks in advance for any reply

Mine did this, i had the later Ecu software added and it cured it.
Had to be done by ford, cost me £70 I think it was.

Hi Davy, Have you got this resolved yet?


I have exactly the same thing on a late 2006 2.0 TDCi. I also note that you can not activate the heated screen during this period either. It's as if the car doesn't know it has started.

No still not got it fixed ford just want to rip me off long story Iv ran out of cash for it at the moment just spent a fortune for pads and disks for front and back and new water pump belt's and tensioner's for both sides of the engine , drop links , track rod ends and loads of other small things like temp sensors , New EGR valve and stuff like that , Once iv sorted other things and i still have the problem ill then take it to ford for the update
