• 98, endura E engine , 80 000 miles - Ford Ka, intermittent no power, poor idle 23 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Also worth mentioning, is that this behaviour above, is totally independant of the weather, temperature, rainy / sunny, so I have not replaced the spark plug cables or the coil (since if these are bad, it's ofter worse whan damp weather). Changed spark plugs, fuel filter, looking for cracks in air hoses (visually, and with start spray). Added a bottle of injection cleener in the fuel tank. Thorougly leaned air mass sensor and the idle control valve.

    I have a 406 HDI 2000 model (90hp) which has lost all power up until a week ago the car was going find and then all of a sudden one day its just lost everything its so flat you could almost walk faster. i have checked all the obvious things replaced fuel filters etc.  I did have the ecu codes read and it was showing MAF sensor short so we cleared the code but still no power.  There is no checklight on the dash.  i decided to clean the maf sensor but again still no change.

• Electronic Ignition Fault - 406 90HDi 24 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  The garage doing the recovery were very keen to take it to their own premises, said they had seen several Peugeots with the same fault recently, and it was the fuel pump above the tank every time. They even logged the reported fault as "fuel pump". The auto-electricians found a fault code indicating an imobiliser fault, and suggested possibly a bad connection, faulty key, or the sensor unit which clips rond the lock barrel.

• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 98 1.4 Multiple misfire under load 23 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  I changed one thing at a time and after each change there was an improvement but the problem wasn't solved and the improvement didn't last long. Could it be a blocked/damaged Cat from the neat fuel as the misfire has been happening a while now, or an exhaust manifold leak or a faulty lambada or engine temp sensor? Or maybe a fuel problem? Or something else altogether? Any help really appreciated - I'm not sure what to try next and can't afford to just change everything!
