02 Mondeo Starting Issues

[paoloh]

The car 95% of the time starts on the button with no issues.

Other times it will not start without a jump pack. ( car can do a very short journey and start without pack ).....

Battery is new, alternator is charging and no obvious volt drain.

Any ideas?

In what way "won't start"? No cranking, cranking but not firing? Help us out here, useful discriptions are useful.

Dash all lights up nice and bright but nothing else at all.

Hmmm

Petrol? Diesel?

[paoloh]

2.0 litre petrol

Mine does the same every now and again but if it doesn't catch on the 1st time it'll catch on the 2nd or 3rd. Never been 4 times

And it is an auto, if that makes any difference??

But as I said, as soon as jump pack is attached, it starts.

Bad earth ?

Dodgy starter relay ?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime ?

[paoloh]

Been to two different garages who can't fault the car.

Not sure about fuel pump.

Would the jump pack give the fuel pump a boost?
