Which Focus do you have?

Fuel pump may have died.

Check the electrical pin on top of your fuel sender/pump.

My mam n dad had a 51reg 1.6 16v focus that did this.Dropped the tank down and found the pin corroed and snapped off.

My focus Rs mk 1 has just had exact same problems !!!
Plug on top of fuel pump was melted ,and pump fooked!!


I believe the pumps pack up , they draw toomuch current and melt the plug and pump !!!

Good luck mate

Hs pump had died as it was a 2 door exhaust and tank had to be dropped nightmare

What's your ecu light doing whilst turning it over?

Seen 4+ like this now where the coil goes and blows the coil side of the ecu

My old mk1 focus had similar issues, fuel pump knackered!

Did you check your immobiliser light whist cranking?

If you can put a current meter in circuit you can see what is going on. my walbro escort cosworth in-tank pump draws 4.7 amps.

you can get these meters from Maplin for Ł10.

if the immobiliser has cut in it won't crank at all so i don't think it will be that. Get someone to give the bottom of the tank a good hard thump while turning it over.

Defo fuel pump
Ecu cuts crank sensor also when detects fuel pump fault
So no fuel no crack signal
Just done my dads

There is a red light above the radio this is on while cranking , it flashes when the central locking has been set. Will check to see if there is any power to the pump when cranking later.

Were in the footwell is the switch n/s or o/s ?
