John McCann Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Hi any help with this will be greatly appreciated petrol mondeo passes forscan with no faults including self tests new camshaft and crankshaft sensors fitted has fuel pressure in common rail had the ECU cloned now run out of ideas.

TomsFocus Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 How much fuel pressure in the rail? How many RPM are showing when turning over? Is the immobiliser being disabled? Edit - Just noticed it's petrol. Which one? Are you getting a spark? Is there any petrol on the spark plugs after a failed start attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCann Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Hi TomsFocus Fuel rail pressure is 11.6 Mpa rpm is 222 immobiliser is not acivated plugs are dry injectors are getting pulses of 2 volts is this enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Is this a 1.6 EcoBoost engine? Over 200 RPM should be enough to fire the injectors so I don't think it's a crank sensor fault. 116 bar would be low for a diesel rail but that might be about right for an EcoBoost rail. Hopefully someone else can confirm. Injector pulses should be 12 volts. If you're using a multimeter then the pulses may be too quick to get an accurate reading. Should be done using an oscilloscope really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCann Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Yes it is 1.6 EcoBoost and I was using a multimeter I do not have access to an oscilloscope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 6 minutes ago, John McCann said: I was using a multimeter I do not have access to an oscilloscope The injector firing pulses are too fast and too short for a multimeter on the DC range to react to. You could make yourself a simple 12V 10W test lamp to test the injector circuit. The lamp will flicker very fast if the firing signal is present. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCann Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 No pulse detected no error codes either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Are you using Forscan or just a generic OBD2 unit? Forscan should show desired rail pressure to compare against actual rail pressure to confirm whether that's enough or not. Struggling to think of any other reason for the injectors not to fire. Does feel like an immobiliser issue but that should show 'key not found' or similar on the dash if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCann Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Using Forscan says fuel rail pressure 830kpa and now have DTC P0251 long time waiting for a DTC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 830 kPa is only 8 bar. That's nowhere near enough, the injectors won't try to fire on that. That code is fairly generic unfortunately. Could be anything on the fuel system. I would suspect the high pressure pump if it's only making 8 bar while cranking but they're a bit expensive to replace without confirming the fault.

John McCann Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Might have to replace the pump as I do not see another way forward I used a Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT Pro to confirm the fuel rail pressure and it gave an even lower pressure of 6.9 bar while cranking.

John McCann Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 I was using ForScan but used the maxi live data just to confirm the fuel rail pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCann Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Replaced pump still not starting but getting good fuel pressure no error codes on forscan then this morning out of the blue it started run for 10 minutes then stopped and back to not starting still no error codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
