 02 1.8 TDCi glow-plug warning light problem - arnold2
OK,
My local garage (non-Ford) has been trying to sort out a problem on my TDCi Focus - namely glow-plug light coming on/engine cutting out.

The fault codes are p1200 - injector/wiring/ecu, and p0251, wiring/injector pump/ecu.

They have tested the Turbo - OK, injectors, again OK, and pump, ok. Also wiring & hoses OK, but a bit warn - done 190k.

So, any ideas anyone! What has happened now since being in the garage was what looked like an oil leak (under engine), but checking the dip-stick all OK, so seems to be when engine on. Could they have not re-connected something related to the injectors properly, or would the engine then just die? Back to garage on Monday but am thinking of going to Ford!

Only other thing I can find is the possibility of a faulty sensor on the throttle switch?
Help!

The same has happened to my tdci focus. It turned out to the the camshaft position sensor. This is the second time i've had this problem. The first time it was the dual mass flywheel. Worth getting both checked out. Hope this helps. Camshaft sensor £25 plus labour. Flywheel and clutch £900 including labour.

The turbo may be ok but have you checked out the actuator also a faulty or clogged up EGR valve cause exactly this problem.
