Hello fellow Ford enthusiasts,
The problem is my 2000 HE Mondeo misses under load. General driving around is fine. I've replaced the leads but still happens. The plugs are clean and gapped at 1mm as per the new specs (original plugs used to be 1.3mm). The coil resistance readings seem ok. I put a timing light on each lead and 2 and 3 being connected at the coil are fine and the pulse is steady and consistent. 1 and 4 pulse at what seems to be double the rate and there is a definite miss, occasionally. I'm thinking the coil is receiving an imperfect signal from the ECU. I've read on a UK site that this is a common fault. I'm thinking of trying a different ecu next. Anybody familiar with this problem? I would appreciate some advice here as I've taken it to a Ford dealer and they were of no assistance. I don't have an ODBII reader but I think I'll go shopping online. |
