Tony2205 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hi all, I am trying to bring back to life a 1993 escort dash, 1.4 cvh. it’s been in dry storage for 17yrs, I’ve put new battery on , new plugs, ht leads, coil pack , ignition module , crankcase sensor, cfi injector , throttle sensor ,hydrolics. Fresh fuel, fuel filter, oil filter and oil,checked all wires and all seems fine, got compression,air, fuel and spark, but just will not start. if I unplug the cfi injector it will start on easy start and run in a fashion but the minute I plug back in it won’t start. Fuel is getting to the injector. could this now be an electrical fault ie the ecu ??. Can anyone help please thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony2205 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Can ANYONE please help with this none start problem ? Doesn’t have an obd port so it’s old school diagnostic, any retired ford engineers out there that can help Edited December 19, 2022 by Tony2205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincygav Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 With the new items are the plugs getting wet with fuel. Have you checked the fuel pump. Also do you have the correct crank position sensor and checked the firing order of the HT leads are correct. There is an EDIS unit that controls the spark signal from the ECU via the crank position sensor. This is usually mounted in the engine bay nearside wing.

Tony2205 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Vincygav, many thanks for your reply, the firing order is correct and so is the new crankcase sensor, I have had fuel pump out of tank and tested it blown fuel line out and got fuel to the cfi but it doesn’t seem to be holding pressure, and only delivers fuel when cranked, do you know if this is correct and what kind of pressure I should have , as I’m now thinking bad fuel pump maybe or does the ecu control this ?

Vincygav Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 IIRC they build up pressure once the system is closed, so would only know if a guage was connected. I had a similar problem with a 1.4 Fiesta with the cvh think they called it PTE after and it was the crankshaft sensor. I had also changed it for the wrong one initially why it never worked properly. The ECU does control the fuel pump. It could possibly be the pump. You should also have the 3 pin diagnostic socket where you can plug a Gunsons fault code reader in. This would be an EECIV based system. All the fuel injected mk5 Escorts had this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
