ELECTRICAL PROBLEM S2 2.9

[powerplus]

Car won't go!!. Car started OK but then during a period of only about a mile stuttered 3 or 4 times as if cutting out and then came to a stop - very sad as it was a great day. I thought maybe it could be fuel as I know the gauges are not that reliable (showing half full anyway) so I put some in but still wouldn't have it. In the end I had to be recovered by Ivan Stacey in Twyford Hants. I asked them if they could look at the fault which they have done and it would appear to be electrical. My pocket is already feeling the pinch. Thay have discovered that there is no power to the pump but by putting a live feed to the pump it is working OK. They say they have checked the fuse and relay and they seem to be fine. They are now saying that they will have to bring in a sparky to find the fault. Has anyone out there had a similar problem and resolved it without spending hours (and much dosh!) trying to find the fault. Any help would be much appreciated.

I had a similar fault on my S2 - turned out to be related to a connector on (or near - its going back a few years!) the ignition switch - well known dodgy Ford Granada part - AA man went straight to it!

Three years ownership and the only time it let me down was when I had similar prob to this....turned out to be coil and sensor (cant rem which one...but coil was main prob). Replaced with Bosch and had no furthr probs with car....hope things get sorted for you!
