Can anyone please help?
My Mondeo 2.2 TDCi ST was running absolutely fine until the other day when it suddenly lost all power and cut out. There was no warning lights on the dashboard. The car would turn over but would not run. Eventually after several attempts I managed to get it running but I had to keep the revs above 2000rpm or it would cut out again. The recovery guy told me that the car was only running on two cylinders and it was throwing neat diesel out of the exhaust.
Initially we suspected the injectors but these were removed and checked by a diesel injection specialist who confirmed that the injectors were absolutely fine. Secondly the EGR valve was checked but again this was found to be working correctly.
The car will now occasionally start up and run on all four cylinders but for a maximum of two minutes then it will either drop down to running on two or three cylinders. Has anyone on this forum experienced anything like this? Could the problem be the ECU? The car was re-mapped about two months ago.
Many thanks
