tedbullpit wrote:Not as yet .. still putting up with it .. so bare with me while I explain. pump will put itself into limp mode .. someone in its past life has taken the three wires which run from a sensor on the pump (located between pump and head .. I believe its a speed sensor ? ) .. and bypassed the multiplug at the rear and rejoined them. I found early on that if I disconnected this 3 wire plug when the eml light came on, (with engine running) , then turned engine off .. rejoined plug and restarted engine .. eml light would go out and we'd be happy. So I cut a wire and ran it inside to a switch and back again .. basically so i didn't have to stop on the road all the time. It works fine .. but hasn't solved the problem. I read somewhere on this forum that a faulty pedal would cause intermittent ecu problems but since I've replaced the pedal, nothing changed. Local ford dealer no longer has diagnostic tool to read any codes and I cant locate a reader anywhere so I'm trying pot luck with sensors as i can afford it. And waiting till timing belt is due for replacement so I can replace that sensor while its already partially disassembled .

I have considered a Bosch mechanical which I can source locally for about $3000 , which would solve the problem, but as the van has only a $2500/3500 value in good running order, that option doesn't seem worthwhile. The van actually goes really well 80% of the time, it just frustrates me when we find limp mode .. I may just give up and find another vehicle and sell the van !

Finding parts here is like looking for hens teeth. And oem are just too expensive. On example is the hose from radiator fill bottle to the engine and oil pump .. funny shaped Tstyle .. $220 .. lift pump $346 .. but I sourced that ex UK for $92 including freight and in only 6 days. In the last 12 months I've replaced alternator, starter, lift pump, radiator, master cylinder, so I'm about over throwing money at it?
Make me an offer .. I'll post it to you
