Missing and Engine Cutting out

[Jem2011]

Hi Guys

I have a 2009 Diesel Transit Connect, which we have had from new. In the last 12-18 months we've been having no end of probelms with it though, and the garage keep telling us they've fixed it and then a month later its right back to the same problem again. I was hoping somebody else had seen it before and might know what it is/ how to fix it.

Basically it will start missing when it's being driven, the light that looks like a cog with the exclamation mark in the middle of it will come on and then the engine stops. The electrics are fine, and all the lights work at this point but there engine just stops running. Sometimes you can start it back up right away, and others it just sits turning over but nothing happens. It seems to be OK as long as it isn't doing more than 2k revs, but as soon as it goes over it will start doing this.

I seem to have it in the garage at least once a month at the moment for them to tell me 'It's a wiring problem - we've fixed it under warranty'.

Thanks

have they replaced your main fuel filter ?

i assume your "cogged gear" is a check engine warning light?

the FORD dealer should have a computer diagnostic read out

for a fault code, and should have had an intellegent explaination

for you as to what the code(s) were ?

if you basic fuel filter is clogged with sediment, moisture,

all the normal diesel fuel nastyness that occurs, begin

with that. Never hurts to have clean diesel filter(s)

the problem you describe is dangerous, and if it

occurs while your in the fast lane ?.........

well lets just say the dealer should see your truckette again

soon and repair it properly.

Cheers from accross the pond

Thanks I just got it back from the garage again, and this time they've replaced one of the fuel injectors - so hopefully that'll be the end of it (i'm keeping my fingers crossed).
