After having a look around and calling Ford the symptoms point towards a fuel issue but the problem is no codes are coming up and the regulator is fine, so they're pulling out there hair trying to figure out where the problem lies.The plugs are fouling up and they changed the cat because the original one was saturated in fuel, they've even changed the computer and still no luck.What are your opinions??

I had an oxygen sensor go once (EA Falcon) and it made the car run rich, although Ford picked it up pretty easy.Hopefully they find it soonRegardsGary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
