In message <1O2dnRCKA-JyVQrYnZ2dnUVZ8sqjnZ2d (AT) bt (DOT) com>, Most misfires on these engines are plug/lead/coilpack related. Having said that, my 2.0 Mondeo has always had a slight hesitation at a steady 2k rpm and the ignition components are spot on. Many other owners report the same. I don't spend a lot of time at a steady 2k rpm so I just live with it. Should have stuck with Audi I guess. Never, ever had troubles with them. |
Apprecaite all the help - I'll throw a little money at a coil pack, have it
checked properly and if that doesnt cure it accept that it's a Ford! And
nowts changed in 20 years.
(Mind you - I did have a few Vauxhalls - and they WERE dreadful things.)
Cheers folks - Mike.

Audi coils are a different matter :-)

| Actually I remember most of my coils lasting longer than that. Now modern Audi coils are a different matter :-) Hm - so I hear - most of mine have been diesels in fairness, with the exception of that rather nice 80. Mike Quick update, in case it helps anyone else - a dose of injector cleaner |
cam-belt change at the end of the week, and I've asked my garage to check
the coil pack while it's in - I'll post any worthwhile news.
I have to say it's (overall - for age & what I paid for it) an impressive
car - rather nicer to drive (better seats & driving position) than the A4 in
fact.

I found this site using google as my M plate 94 Mondeo 1.8i was
misfiring quite badly - accelerate and nothing there at all in all
gears - after a mile or so it picked up and seemed fine. This only
happened for the first few minutes of each journey but having the car
fixed I now realise the performance was being impacted all the time (I
only bought the card a month ago). Here's what was done, in order, to
rectify the problem :
Fitted new spark plugs and HT leads - still the same
Fitted new Temperature Sender Unit - still the same
Fitted new Lambda sensor - still the same
Fitted new MAF sensor - BINGO - car runs like a dream. Performance is
fantastic !!
Looking at another reference guide here then I suppose a general down
on power was the real issue rather than the bad misfire
