Hi everybody. I have a 2002 Focus TDCI which has an intermittant starting problem. The car occasionally just refuses to start. It has been checked out by my local Ford dealer twice whilst under warranty and they found nothing wrong with it. The symptoms are not dependant on hot or cold starting, it just seems a random problem with the engine turning over but failing to ignite the fuel. It has happened about 8 to 10 times during the three years I have owned the car and although been checked for fault codes by Ford dealers and my local garage nothing is every found. The Focus,when the engine is running is a superb car and I don?t wish to change it unless forced by this unreliability problem to do so. The engine, has so far started eventually after about 10 minutes, but I would really like to get it sorted.
Thanks Rob.
