I thought it needed one because other videos I've seen some have them but maybe the doh zetec engine doesn't have the gasket like the others it's a little rubber gasket it's not the same as the other ones.

If you have many tens of thousands of miles on your fuel filter, swap a new one in and retest. If no better results yet: Get the torque app ($10) and a $25 OBD2 reader from Ebay. Every man should have it anyway. When you get them, hook it up and select to see "fuel pressure" and observe. It should be 38-42 always when the key is in 'run' position. If it isn't, and you have already swapped in a new fuel filter, then check the wiring to the pump for power. If it has power, but isn't holding ~40psi, it may need to be swapped out. But, check everything else first before buying a pump. Load test your battery. Check every electrical connector for true joinery. Heck your battery terminals and cables for any corrosion or melting to the egr pipe, etc..

Our parents focus cuts out at traffic lights and roundabouts when air con is on and revs sits below 1 on the Rev counter. When air con is switched off, the revs still sit below 1 but doesn’t cut out. Only cuts out when air con it switched on. Could this idle control valve be the problem also? Thanks

@CrackingGate

3 жыл бұрын

Possible or it may be a mechanical fault with the aircon compressor. If say a bearing has failed, when the magnetic clutch activates the compressor may not be able to spin and prevents the belt from moving which can cause low idle speed and the engine can stall. I would think the A/C fault I mentioned is less likely to occur so would say check the IAC Valve first.

Hey mate, I used a short spanner to reach that bottom bolt. It is a bit tough the first time but if you can get the ring on it (so it doesn't slip or round off) then it should be relatively easy to undo once it starts turning. I am guessing using a 3/8 drive socket with a flex joint might be able to work also.

At 0:5:20 to 0:5:30 you can clearly see the induction pipe from the snorkel sitting far lower that it should do, it should poke up into the airbox, again at 0:5:40 to 0:5:50 the pipe can be seen not connected to the airbox

You will laugh at me now. Mine cleared up enough a long time ago that I sent the part back. Now the IAC is $80.79 USD O-rings almost $9. My friend who was a Ford dealer mechanic says the hanging high idle it is doing now, that slowly comes down to a rough low RPM idle but does not stall IS the IAC! He said on my model the IAC will not cause a code. I scanned it and he is right. Passes IM readiness and other than a high idle for longer than normal, all data reads normal. Now I am mad I ordered one at inflation-era prices, and was wondering if just CLEANING it like you did and JUST replacing the O-rings will fix it. It worked on yours, so maybe I will try cleaning it, replace and send new part back for refund assuming cleaning works. It sure acts like it is gummed up inside like yours. $107.64 both parts shipped total would get a lot of that money back.😓

Bit of a bummer to hear. Not sure where you live but I would say it may be possible that temperature can play a part with improving the operation of the part. If things are cold then they tend to be constricted and tight then will free up when the months get warmer. I could be wrong with your experience but I can't think of much else why a part would start working again without being rebuilt. Best of luck with the cleaning, it may end up needing a replacement part so hopefully the issue is rectified one way or the other.

A Ford IAC is essentially a controlled vacuum leak, that keeps your idle speed at desired 750RPM without load, approx. 800RPM with load. A Ford at idle should have a live data duty-cycle reading of 30-40% Usually closer to 30%. Ford IAC has a range of 20-60% 20% is fully closed! Yes mine did die until I drove it with AC on it never died because the duty-cycle is higher.

The water pump leaked and timing skipped and the intake manifold had antifreeze oil and gas under the fuel rail, and the battery was crushing the starter wiring and the main wiring harness and the Scumbag had drawn a smiley face on the connector, the only one not broken, but worn down to a few bare spots.
