20 Most Recent 2005 Ford Focus ZX4 - Page 9 Questions & Answers

I don't know the model year? Key on engine off, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Then with key off, see if pressure holds for a bit? If it drops like a rock, check for a fuel pressure leak. If the engine is hot and trying to flood for some reason, your going to have a tough time. Any applicable trouble codes? Check your coolant temp sensor, only if testing leads in that direction. Smell of your crankcase oil dipstick, does it smell like gas?

Did you check to see if the inertia fuel cut off switch was tripped ? Do you know what this is on ford vehicles ? There are usually located in or behide the right side passenger kick panel , or in the trunk .

Yes,there should be one,probably in the trunk, or floorboard kick panel. don-ohio

mondeo ,same as Xtype jag running gear but the software iam not sure about ,could be stop light switch but could be a sensor ,so you will not like what iam going to suggest and that is take it to your local ford garage and let them plug it in .

You need to get that from the Ford dealer.

Have they heard the noise or just you? Not hearing the click myself, it is quite possible that the exhaust manifold gasket has a small leak due to improper torqueing, crack, defect, or warp. I would sound mechanical but is actually air and would be intermittent at the early stages. Just to make sure, get a flash light and mirror and examine the exhaust manifold assemble looking for grey or black powder. It is a long shot but could be the issue, as could be a flat cam lobe, sticking valve from a bent or damaged guide, or other unforeseen abnormal conditions such a crack in a bucket. You could try a super oil and see if it does not go away in a week. I have had them fix issues like this as well.

clean the negative terminal the do it up tight the clicking noise will be that the starter solenoid is not getting a good current flow because of the loose terminal

first question ---did you get a brand new MAF sensor or one that someone had lying around what was the code that prompted the replacement of the MAF sensor as there can be up to 7 causes for the code

Generally, when foam exists in the radiator, you have combustion gases entering the coolant system, and the cause may be a bad head gasket or a cracked cylinder head and in some cases may be an intake manifold gasket leak. If you open the radiator cap (make sure its not under pressure) smell the air near the radiator cap opening while the engine is running and if it smells like exhaust fumes then you have the problem as I first stated.
