Can you plz help I have the same problem with my s max 2.2 except I put a new turbo on and did a eco map now it will only start if I probe the relay and help would be great Rhanks

I think you may have solved my problem. My Galaxy wouldn't crank, but when I let it roll a bit it started. I assume therefore that it must be a dodgy starter motor, as did the garage. When I went to pick it up, it wouldn't start. The mechanic told me to press both the clutch and the brake. It started, but I told him I had never had to do this before and only needed to depress the clutch as normal. Having come across your video, I checked the drivers foot well and found it to be very wet. I will take it back to the garage and get them to investigate the corroded wire. I'm sure that is the problem. Cheers.

Yeah hi mate your videos very interesting I've just brought 2.2 and it's doing like the same but 1 minute it will start and then when I to turn it over I get nothing but when I get a jump start it will start straight away so I don't know if you know about that or if it could be the relay thank you

There is a small oil filter in the head. You can google how to change it. If it is plugged with sludge the oil flow is limited. Change it periodically (and keep the oil clean) and you wont have this problem.

@@mattylowe71 hi matt yes I sorted mine out I think it was a combination of 2 things. I took the blue plug apart in the fusebox under the bonnet and found some contacts very corroded so cleaned up both parts with electrical cleaned and small wirebrush. Then I also changed the small ecu behind the gearstick as again a few corroded connectors. Small ecu cost 15 pound from ebay

Testing with a jump lead is a poor way to carry out that test as depending on the quality of the jump lead it still may not start. Look up the video super mario diagnostics did on testing earth faults. It explains it quite well

You legend! This was the problem exactly and due to a water spillage a few weeks previously. Thank you!!! For reference for others.

Hopefully you are still monitoring the comments.... I've got 95% of the same conditions featured here, right down to the previous Aircon leak. The 5% difference is that when I trigger the start button... The dash shows "press clutch to start" and that dismisses when I press the clutch (But no response from the engine) Does that mean my clutch wire is likely ok or does that switch feed different modules and there could still be a break? Appreciate your thoughts before I get to ripping it out!
@ams-mobileuk72265 ай бұрын
Hi. I'd say if the clutch message goes out when you press the clutch then it5 is probably ok, if the vehicle is not cranking you need to start at the starter motor & work back from there
@hughwilson34663 ай бұрын
@@ams-mobileuk7226 Your video has saved another one.... just reporting back to say that.. after noting the clutch notice on dash was actually intermittent, I had a look at the wiring in question.. and bingo! I actually have no idea what Ford were thinking with this connection, they could have added 50p to the build cost and done it in so many better ways.

There is a number of things that could cause this. Best thing to do is find a reputable garage near you & let them take a look. Depending on how intermittent the fault is, it could make it difficult to track down, as the fault needs to replicated when the technician has it

For injector voltage testing you probably want to be in the 400v range. The good thing about scopes is you cant mess it up. Once the leads are attached just move your voltage & time base till you get a good waveform. The more you do it the better a feel you'll get for what to expect.

@Ams-Mobile Uk nice I'm getting good with diagnostics can lin bus cam crank etc but injectors could do with polishing up on. I know you can use an attenuator for when the injector discharges but ours is a snap on zeus so dunno if it needs one. I know vag engine's don't normally through codes for injectors I did a leak off test last Skoda I fixed. I found because you have to remove 2 simultaneously on the new ones I normally have to replace 2 and they're not cheap. Keep the videos coming!
