Wu52tzw Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Help! I changed the turbo on my 2001 transit started the engine and ran it for about ten minutes then turned it off and now it won't start. Turning over ok just won't fire up now. Any ideas?

omniphil Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I wish my transit had a turbo :( Sounds like the turbo wheel might have seized blocking airflow. Is this a new or used turbo?

Wu52tzw Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Used turbo. Was turning fine before I put it in and ran for ten minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new or used turbo? Yes we need some Turbo disels here in the US this gasoline engine not exactly economical. It's not fair.

I would pull the intake pipe off and see if you can still spin the turbo wheel by hand. Turbos tolerance are very tight, something may have got in there.

I think we'll see the EcoBoost in the T.C. before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omniphil Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 As of 2014 we already have the ecoboost engine available :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
