Focus 2002 1.8 TDCI Flashing Glow Plug Light

[LukeS]

I have the well documented flashing light and lack of power problem, turn the engine off wait a few seconds and back on again and away you go.
Now there is much written but few results when the problem is sorted.

Is there anyone who's had the problem and how was it resolved?

cheers

When my Mondeo TDCI did this it turned out to be the camshaft position sensor. Ford made a revised part, a grey one to replace the original black one if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the reply, I fitted a cam sensor last night but will need to see if this has done the trick as it was 2 weeks between the faults.

The same fault particularly with the Mondeo seems it could also be injectors so Im crossing my fingers as had injectors done about 2-3 years ago.

Was a while ago so will fit a new one not sure on the clips though do you need to fill cartridge with derv to stop airlocks
