It's great to have you back James! Hope your safe and well in these current times. Congratulations on the 70k subs!! Many more to come

2 solution to the rought iddle : 1. the map sensor : to diagnose a bad map sensor : disconnect it and run the car : if the car run smother it's the map sensor. You may have broke it during swap. 2. The egr : it may be clogged up or malfunctioning and this is why the previous owner block the egr. Try to block the egr again (as original) and see if run rought. Good vidéo from France 🇨🇵

CONGRATULATIONS ON 70K you deserve it. I love watching your videos and seeing your posts on Instagram. Great man and I hope you and your family are healthy and safe.

[@mikethompson7296]

Nice "Italian tune up" required. It'll blow all the crap out and pull the air out of the fuel lines. Great to see you working on it again, my favourite car of yours.

[@TheSaabClinicUK]

That air filter was filthy too. You need to wash it. Sit it in a bucket with some Persil washing powder and really hot water. Just half a cup of powder. Let that soak for 30mins. Then you need to rinse it through with a hose but from the clean side (inside) to the dirty side. So you push the dirt out. Leave to dry in the airing cupboard overnight. Ideally you should spray with K&N oil on the outside. Or a very light spray all over the outside with wd40.

[@skodakatie7341]

Your video certainly eased the home isolation anxiety, stay well and safe James, looking forward to your next video!!.

[@DazC2]

The TDCI re-learns each cylinder over a 15 minute period. You’ve changed the dynamics of the combustion process by adding the EGR back to the engine that the ECU has adapted to live without. You’ll need to run the engine for an hour to allow all 4 cylinders to be re-adapted then it should return to normal.

[@darren95mcinnes]

Could be the previous owner had the egr mapped out when they did the egr delete so now you have put an egr back on it the ECU doesn't recognise it causing it to run rough. Congrats on 70k and its great to have you back uploading!

[@AdammP]

Two possible reasons which I can see, If the egr valve is stuck open it will allow unmetered air in.. causing this. Usually not a problem if they're stuck closed. Or air lock in the injector pipes , guessing you removed them to fit the seals.. they're usually self bleeding but you could crack them a bit of a turn at the injector and see if fuel comes out when it's running. Be careful though with high pressure fuel and use a rag if you do do it!

[@ThermoNuclearLlama]

When you changed the injector seals you removed the fuel lines. Is all the air bled from the lines? Diesel is prone not to start well after being removed from the fuel. Might just need priming. Thanks for the upload :)

[@arnoldkul3827]

You don't need to prime the injectors in a common rail Diesel, only the filter if you have changed it

[@shifty2755]

Modern diesels have a self purging valve on the fuel pump.

[@nagymatyika]

@@arnoldkul3827 Actually you have to. At first start the proper solution is revving the engine. These engines are famous for air inlet in the fuel system. :)

[@ThermoNuclearLlama]

@@arnoldkul3827 thank you I didn't know that. I thought it was any air in the system needed to be bled.

[@arnoldkul3827]

@@nagymatyika That's not what I meant, what you said might be useful, I meant like you bleed the old tipe of Diesel engines with the Bosch injection pump, to unscrew the injector bolts and bleed the engine until only Diesel comes out and not air. The modern Common Rail engines are self bleeding. That means once the engine starts it should bleed itself out pretty quickly and the engine will run normal again, I'm not sure if it's anything specific to these Ford CRDI engines but I'm suspecting that the EGR is not working correctly and that's why the car is running like crap as he gets all those fault codes for the EGR or some bad vacuum hoses that can cause an air leak. But could be anything really with those modern Diesel engines. A proper scan tool for diagnosing is your friend in such a case.

[@retrorestore]

I'd say there's a mounting plate or gasket missing from the MAF mounting for the K&N

[@dillingerdan]

Definitely is according to K&N themselves www.knfilters.co.uk/57-0577-performance-air-intake-system

[@arnoldkul3827]

@@markellis4229 It will bleed itself, these CRDI engines are designed this way.

[@markellis4229]

The filter could need changing because the car has been sat for a while and Diesel causes bacteria in the filter which causes it to block and causes it to run like crap because blocked filters Will lead to a Fuel supply issue Starving The pump

Hi Mr Savage has'nt your dad got the same engine and he had trouble with EGR valve ,check your MAF sensor,and Cars don't like sitting a prob at this time,when this is all over a lot of people will have trouble with their cars ,congrats on the SUBS you 've earned it ..

[@Nathen9112]

Sounds like the drive belt is on its way mate and crank pulley 😊. Just unslacken the union if there's any air in the fuel the ones on top of the injectors 1 at a time then tighten back up.

[@1986timmis]

Give it a blast mate it's got air in the system

[@CrazyPetez]

It's good to see another of your videos, James. I know K&N filters have a good reputation, but they aren't the best filter media, and if oiled too heavily, the oil can be drawn onto the MAF, causing problems.

[@keithknight1107]

Hi James good to see you back on if you want my advice I would do a bleed back on each injector to make sure you haven't got a stuck injector normally if there's air in the system Mondeo don't run and you're still does look forward to seeing your next video thanks

[@PauloJRSantos]

i agree with the idea of the map sensor, it can explain a lot things,even the smoke on the tail pipe! but im thinking you have a maxicom diagnose machine, its easy for you the check up for incoherences on the live data. greatings , keep on the good work

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Hello James. The misfire is more than likely down to the work you carried out on the injectors. Air in the system(maybe) a poorly connected injector or break in the harness(wiring issue) etc. Although it’s a bit of work best put it back to ‘pre EGR/new ‘Carlos Fandango’ K and N and see if the car runs as it did before. If it does then it’s what you have added since the injector seals. If not then it’s more than likely to do with the work you did to the injectors. You need a baseline to work from. Poor running of diesels is down to a couple of basic factors ‘timing and compression’ usually. Inspect the engine around the injectors when idling. If there is any leaks around the injectors then the seals are either installed wrong or you may have forgotten to re secure the injectors in their seats properly. A poorly fitted injector will cause compression issues and poor running in a cycle set/misfire as will a working issue(not connected/poor connection/broken wire/open circuit) Also check that the injectors are connected to the harness correctly(unlikely as the harness only reaches specific cylinders) incase the firing sequence doesn’t match the engine timing. Great ‘vidjeo’ always enjoy watching..

[@alferret1969]

The ECU needs to re-learn after fitting EGR. Best way is to remove battery for an hour, re connect, drive normally through all gears and varying speeds.

[@brandonharding3115]

Al Ferret it’s been mapped out probably.

[@colwyn9]

Dont put a cone on a diesel, it will sound like an air compressor. I put one on a 2.4L toyota hilux and it sounded naff

[@Stu88Turner]

Yours is a euro 4 mate , difference between 3 and 4 is vacuum and electronic actuators, egr delete would of most likely been mapped out on a remap when the delete kit was fitted , also usually with the euro 4 you’d see a 8mm hole drilled in the cooler blank plate allowing your eml not to be on .... hope it helps you solve your issue

[@Bucharestguidedtours]

Great to see the Savage Garage back, best wishes.

Thanks for your vids bud. It is a funny old time at the minute but I've managed to fill some time enjoying your vids. Keep it up fella 🤘

[@NikEastwood161]

I am fairly new to diesels and i recently changed injector seals on a 1.3multijet, it does sound like air in your system, bleed it out by whatever method is right for that engine and i reckon it will be spot on afterwards.

[@chrisyoung5573]

Love your video's James, hope you regain your enthusiasm for making them. Hope you and your family stay safe and come out the other end of the tragedy unscathed

[@TheZXGuy]

Long time watcher first time commenting. Your videos are all great James and I can't wait to find out what's happening with the fiesta also hopefully you keep the enthusiasm and stay safe. You've given me the inspiration to start my own channel plus it gives me something to do through these quarantine times.

[@nagymatyika]

Check the real time data of mass air flow. On idle speed with opened EGR it should be around ~7g/s and with closed egr around ~10-12g/s. By the MAF change you can easily determine that whether the EGR is offed or not. EGR problem can cause misfire on a diesel engine and on this actual one air in fuel system also could. Try to rev up the engine several times and also keep it high rpm for a few minute.

[@adammcallister2260]

Deffo air in fuel. Needs a good rev up to 2500rpm for 2 minutes. You can rule out MAF issues by just unplugging it :)

[@keepingbritishcars4309]

Your missing a foam gasket that should of been on the original that you move over to the k&n MAF sensor pipe

[@simonhewkin8418]

[@michaelslater5669]

Good to have you uploading again bro! Love the yum cars merch 👌🏼 looks insane 🔥 keep up the vids to keep us all sane during this lockdown!

[@NorfolkRoverworx]

Hi James, hope you are well. I've had it in the past where when you disconnect the injectors and the battery is low, the pcm looses the injector trim codes. You should be able to re-input these with the Autel. It definitely sounds like a missing injector, so if it haven't sorted after a good run then check electrical connections on the injectors and check trim codes.

[@clarelouise7040]

Hey unplug the electrical connector on the edge I guarantee it runs better I’ve had a LOT of Mondeo’s run in to this problem a few times and was successful in doing what I’ve just told you hope you and family are doing well

[@mwmm]

If I can suggest one thing, get an inline fuel filter in the engine bay (the ones with transparent sides) The fuel pump on these is notorious for chewing its own casing eventually and sending metal shards through your engine, it will ruin all your lines and injectors requiring a £3,000+ rebuild. Having an inline filter can help you spot this early, bad idle is also a telltale sign. Source; personal experience with this exact model and engine, also have a quick Google too!

[@julianthomson7398]

You mentioned that the engine was smoking more than it was with rough running and smoking, check the egr valve is closing all the way. You should be able to use your scan tool to open and close the valve while the engine is running to check and on live data see the amount it is open closed etc.

[@MrMarkeboy1234]

That plastic looking mesh is called megamide. I use to use it when I made car vehicle harness back in my 20s.

[@gavdaman21]

I know exactly what that is. The Egr valve itself is stuck open slightly. I had this exact issue. Changed it and it was spot on. Didn't even try to clean it because apparently these don't like being cleaned.

[@arthurgissing7387]

they could be air in fuel lines from the injector job, need to run longer to bleed system. and mass air flow sensor is now getting more air flow essentially so needs a good run out so the computer (ecu) can auto adjust the mapping to make it run smooth. egr will kick in once engine is at optimum temp hopefully

[@farley1992]

Foam panel filters are better in these cars pipercross do a really good one , cones just suck in hot air from the engine bay, where as original box is a perfect cold air intake as standard

[@harrypalmer7318]

@The Savage Garage id say it could be boost pressure sensor too mine sounded like that was running really rough and no boost. Put that sensor on it drives brand new 👍🏼

[@dmc4708]

If you’re worried about emissions, put a bottle of Forte Advanced Diesel Treatment into the tank before you go for the test. It’s good stuff, has been known to turn many failures into a pass.

[@Noahmaelkekoo]

Hey from Denmark! I've got a mondeo with the same engine as yours. It has got a faulty egr (stuck open) no loss of performance, no excessive smoke, no error codes only weird idle like you have well it sounds like it I had a mechanic mate check this for me and he confirmed this. I haven't changed it yet as the problem is only at idle, but I will change it soon and see if it fixed anything ;)

[@superdiy7081]

I had same issue on a Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI, turned out to be bad injector dumpping too much fuel causing smoke and misfire. Need do a injector leak test to find out which one is bad then replace it. Good luck!

Warm it up, keep on the throttle about 5% after its warm and idle then when you get a chance 3rd gear above 3.5k for 10 ish minutes. Even if its because of you had the fuel lines off. Your cooler might be blocked and your getting loads of back pressure

[@xXJohnny1254eXx]

I've got a 07 reg Mondeo st that I've had for 2 years now, and its been plagued with egr problems. The egr units themselves fail about 8-12 months, u can make them last longer if u clean them, but cheap ones generally die fast, I've had 3 changed. The egr cooler is also problematic, prone to leaking, and leaking coolant down the egr system and intake, giving the same symptoms as a blown head gasket, normally blowing white smoke, then underload rolling coal. If its idling and stalling when accelerating, its most likely got a leak somewhere in the egr system, where the egr valve opens underload, but because its leaking and loosing pressure, it can disturb the pressure and blow back, acting like its got no boost and often stalling when trying to boost up. The fuel system bleeds itself after a few turns, the Delphi high pressure pump pretty much bleeds itself through fast, as I've replaced the mechanical pump unit and all my injectors myself, so that aint the problem. P.s, I've searched through the amount of crap on talk ford and other sites to try and find answers cos my ST just isn't reliable, and most of the people on their don't know jack xD my personal opinion is to do what I did and blank it off from the exhaust manifold, and put the bypass back on, then do a stage 1 remap to get some extra boost and also remove the engine light for the egr codes. I've done that 2 months ago and now I don't have to worry about it again.

[@davidjnr3418]

I've had this before and it will be the EGR valve motor not adjusting correctly. Used ones are normally broken same on the Renault 1.9DCI engines they are well known for it. That's why it's smoking its the unburnt diesel etc.

[@-Dash-]

Starting problems and smoke from exhaust? If the EGR valve you fitted was not new(?) the 1st thing I would try would be to blank off the EGR again (and did you fit the rubber gasket on the top of the valve?). Use a piece of tin cut from an old beer/coke can in the shape of the metal gaskets you fitted but without the hole in the middle... Slide out the gasket and slide the blank in its place and retest. If that cures it then the EGR valve is prob no good.

[@rorywrenn2577]

If the previous owner removed the EGR, I would imagine it has to be mapped out so the computer thinks everything is as it was. Especially if when you bought it, there were no codes at all.

[@brummiescot]

You should be able to test operate the egr valve using your autel as it has bidirectional control

[@Beanie-4399]

When changing an injector on my 2.0 tdci ford focus mk2, it knocked and banged for a good 5 minutes until air was all out.. So to me it sounds like it's got air in the fuel system might be worth bleeding and trying.. if that doesnt help try taking egr pipe off and blanking it again as if guy has had it mapped out car will also go funny..

Blank the EGR again as the car is stage 1 remapped and in the map it probably says EGR off thats why running bad

The only blanking plate my car had was at the EGR at the top of the engine, nothing had been altered at the lower point of the engine. The blanking plate you removed at the bottom looked far too thick to be a DIY effort by the previous owner. I think you should refit the lower one. Its an exhaust recirculation valve, by removing the bottom plate you may well have stopped it from recirculating...
