I've bwwn having an issue with the ute the past few weeks. It has big misses randomly while cruising and occasionally turns itself off. It can be nesr on impossible to start afterwards where I can nearly flatten the battery trying.

Plugs are new. Coils are about 50,000km old. The xcal shows cam sensor faults in bank a and b. I've pulled the tappet cover off and checked the cam phasors, they look alright  (had an issue with one a few years back).

 

I'm guessing I'll need to change the coils but would a dud coil explain the car tuening itself off?

B series ecu issues are really starting to pop up more and more as their age stacks on but there's a few ecu repair places kicking around now

A few places are making the effort to suck out the strategy and re pump it in ( base ) after the repair so the cost should include this service because if not you're up for a "pairing" from ford or a workshop with IDS op ;)

So it seems that it was possibly a battery issue I had. The negative terminal was loose/buggered and the battery needed a good trickle charge for 24hrs.

She starts beautifully now and in this cold weather starts without hesitation :)
