Hi all
I've got a 2010 transit sport 140 2.4
I pulled onto a petrol station forecourt and switched engine off.
The fuel level was very low but I didn't actually run out! When I filled the. Tank I got 74.5 litres in.
When I tried to restart it would fire for a split second but would not run.
My mechanic took the fuel filter off and put an injector cleaner in it and it fired straight away and drove fine.
After the engine had been running for an hour I turned it off and it would not start again.
I put the remainder of the injector cleaner in and it fired right up.
The next morning it started fine but then would not start later in the day.
My mechanic suspects a filter head is leaking air in.
But why did it start the next day.
Ps I had noticed a bit of rough running when cold for a few weeks before all this happened kind of like a miss fire but only very occasionally.
When the filter is taken off it does seem only half full.
Any ideas?
Thanks
