FORD TRANSIT MK7 2008 140PS 2.2 PROBLEM

[james.knoedl]

HI,

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2008/08 PLATE TRANSIT 140PS LX 2.2 FWD WITH JUST OVER 66K ON THE CLOCK.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT HAS A SLIGHT MISFIRE WHEN DRIVING.

IT STARTS PERFECT BUT SOMETIMES (VERY RARE) IT STARTS AND CUTS OUT STRAIGHT AWAY BUT THEN STARTS.

ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IN EITHER THIRD OR FOURTH GEAR, MAYBE IN OTHER GEARS, IT STARTS SHUDDERING WHEN DRIVING AND MISFIRES AND WHEN LEAVING AND REPRESSING THE THROTTLE IS FINE AGAIN.

ALSO, I HAVE BEEN TOLD OFF A FEW MATES THAT THE VAN DOES PUT OUT SOME BLACK SMOKE EVEN IF DRIVING TIDY.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO THIS?

I WOULD BE GRATEFUL.

THANKS JAMES

Theres a bit of a list to go through..

Is it showing any codes?

Clean map sensor

@ 50,000 miles.............






Should look like............





Egr could be faulty
Have a look at the seals round the injectors to see if they are wet.

Check your injectors urgently. This what mine did within a short period and cracked a piston costing 2.5k

Take it to a Ford dealer
