Ford transit engine problem?
Hi, I have a 06 ford transit pickup that I recently bought. When started its fine and as I rev it starts to smoke, I think it could be egr or a valve/ piston, because I had to reset the timing because it had jumped which could cause damage to the valves, without taking the whole engine off is there any way to know what the problem is?
If it didn't cause smoke before? Then odds are we have an issue caused by valve/rings. EGR can cause excess smoke as can a damaged injector nozzle.run a compression test on all cylinders and while injectors are out check nozzles for damage.
don't forget to check each cylinder dry first then with couple of eat spoons of engine oil added to a cylinder for a second test.
we're looking for mainly a balanced pressure and no more than 10% difference between highest and lowest compressions.
when oil is added.crank over few times to spread oil around rings before retesting.
pressure will rise on an oil injected cylinder versus 'dry' compressions. If NO increase is found when oil added? Its likely a valve(s) has been bent. This involves head off for examination and repairs.
we may simply be better served by having a garage check it all over for us and quote for repairs.
- What's the problem here, with the A/C and the idling engine? 2000 Ford Contour SE. 1. A/c blows the air out from the defrost vents by the windshield instead of the vents on the panel… 2. When I'm stopped at a red light with car idling, the car starts vibrating as if it wants to shut off. I was told the problem was a sensor that's connected to the engine that keeps the engine revved at a steady pace while it's idle. Is that true?
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- Restoring old Ford Transit. Can't get engine to start. Any ideas please? Friend is restoring 1976 Transit Diesel. Dry stored and in excellent condition. Re-conditioned injectors, clean fuel. Engine turns over valve-gear working (belt intact). Compression, fuel at injectors, no air in system engine turning over with new battery. Apparently no heater plugs on this engine (2.4). Tried eze-start just 'coughs' but will not actually start. At wits end! Any ideas please?
- 2.9l Ranger Engine Problem? I own a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9l. Last winter The water in it froze and blew 2 freeze plugs out and the starter went out. I knocked 2 freeze plugs back in and fixed the starter and it fired back up. I drove it to the front yard to put water in it and as it was filling up i look and out of the oil dipstick water was pouring out… Would this be the head or block? Or?
