Hi, My Mother's Fiesta 1.1 classic with central fuel injection has failed its MOT on the exhaust emmsions. Her local mechanic who took it for the MOT for her, hasn't got the gear to check the different sensors etc. Ford main dealer wants £70 just to put it on their diagnostics machine. So I bought one of these Draper "fault code readers" but when I tried this there was no response at all. I dont know if the fault code reader is faulty or whether the ECU or associated wiring is faulty.
Would the engine run at all if the ECU were faulty?
Can anyone suggest the most likely culprit for making the CO emmisions go up to 6.4% when the limit is 0.3?
Can anyone reccomend anybody in the Bradford area who could sort it for a reasonable price?
Cheers,
Tony.
