Default Re: Ford focus 2004 starting issues

Hi Russ, thanks for your help. We have fixed the problem. Inside the fuel tank is a high pressure fuel line from the fuel pump to the fuel inspection plate. This had a small crack in it causing the car to lose fuel pressue and the fuel to drain off. Once we replaced the high pressure line inside the tank, it fixed the problem and is starting perfectly every time. I also advise to replace the fuel pump if your car has around 100,000 k's as a safetly precaution. The fuel pump can be bought at Repco for roughly 1/6 of the cost of genuine. We are qualified mechanics. We done everything possible, this was the only thing that fixed the problem and now the car starts straight away all times.
