Re: Ford Fiesta 1.4 Petrol year 2012 engine code SPJC

B/ What component in a cylinder can cause intermittent compression problems when the engine is cold some mornings and other mornings the engine starts and runs okay for days on end. Maybe take a look for coolant in the cylinder in the morning - that would fit your symptoms. - Inc shorting out the p...

Re: Ford Fiesta 1.4 Petrol year 2012 engine code SPJC

Thank you for your reply and advice. I've devised a test plan to check the electrics, coils and injection circuits based on your advice and wiring diagram. Looking at the wiring diagram I'm thinking the current demand for the coils and injectors should be around 8 - 10A each circuit. I'm clearly not...

Re: 2018 Roadshow, scope owners not invited!! Really??

Mr Dalton has hit the nail on the head ! It seems that there is a shift in the "technicians" thinking. With the purchase of a Scan tool the expectation was very simple: What sensor do I replace to fix this car ? Now, months, years, decades later, the scan tool didn't live up to the promise, that on...

Fiesta 1.4 SPJC code

20230731_121858.jpg History... Five years approximately ago the engine was rebuilt because of a failed oil cooler. No expense was spared, whatever was required was carried out. Five years later cylinder 3 is misfiring when cold only, which soon clears. I'll upload files later, but I don't think WPS...

Re: NVH kit accelerometer

I also invested in the sonic belt tensioning tool by Gates, this was the same as above picture going back to the late 1990's.
