Ford Transit 260 LR

Postby thecaninecrew » Wed Jul 30, 2025 3:56 pm

2010 Ford transit 2.198 cc.
Last week had alternator replaced after the engine warning light came on. It ran for a few hours and since then refuses to start. Batteries have been checked as have the leak off (?) of the injectors. The van turns over but won't start. It did start briefly yesterday when the engine cover was removed and the air flow sensor disconnected but now refuses to start again.
Sorry for my lack of technical knowledge.
The garage is at a loss and now says it cannot help me anymore so I am left with a van that won't start.

You need to get proper diagnostics onto it...Forscan is our one of choice. You'll need to get the fault codes and report back.

Your garage should have been able to do this for you and at least give fault codes.

The engines are actually very simple, they only need compression, cam timing and fuel....and they should run.

As knobby says. You need diagnostics for codes and check live data cam sync and rail pressure etc.

Meanwhile, does it crank ?
