Hi, Puma 1.7 starts, runs for about 10 secs on idle, then stumbles and stops. If I try the accelerator, it stops immediately. I can hear the fuel pump going. Changed fuel filter, put in a non return valve, still the same. Should I try changing the pressure regulator, or fuel pump? Any advice...

Puma does as title. Changed fuel filter, no diff. I can hear the fuel pump go, but if I depress the fuel pressure valve, I only get a dribble - should it be strong?. Still get a dribble after the car has stalled. No response from accelerator during the idle period. How do I test the fuel...

Hi, I've got this leak at the back of the 1.7 engine, behind the first part of the exhaust. I cannot see exactly where its coming from, and I'm going to have to remove that part of the exhaust (plus the driveshaft) to see. Any ideas, anybody?

Thanks everybody - most helpful. I just have to take the seats off, I presume, and change the pre-ten.

Thanks, CherryVimto, Mine is 2000, and it has pretensioners, both of which have fired. Not yet replaced. But my question was - having replaced the module ( because the warning light was on continuously), I then get the code for the pretensioners, which goes off after a while to be replaced by a...

The module was the same as the old one.

Following an accident in which the airbag was deployed, I changed the airbag. The warning light stayed on continuously, so I changed the module. The warning light now flashes the code for the pretensioner (4 flashes), about 6 times and then stays on continuously. Is this normal, or does it...

Hi, Any body know where I can get a front suspension gaiter (bellows)? Cant seem to find them on Ebay, etc.

Hi, Ian, Thanks again for the quick reply. You may have hit the problem.. I bought an airbag some time ago, and put it on, not knowing that driver's airbags are different depending on whether you have a passenger one or not. (The car is definitely a one bag car - x1 on the windscreen).I threw...

Hi, Ian, Thanks for the quick reply. My module is under the dash, in front of the gear stick, and ends in the letters AC - what should be the number on the airbag? The car is a 1.7, year 2000. Peter

Hi, if my driver's side airbag has gone off, do I have to replace just the airbag, or do I have to replace the module, too?

Hi, I've managed to bend the rear axle. Does any body know if a Ford Fiesta has the same rear axle?. My car is a 2000 1.7 Puma. Thanks :?

Thanks, Barry, I'll do that. Car has been idle for several years following an accident, so I was expecting trouble!

Thanks _must be some other reason the fuel pump is not working. The fuse had blown, but replacing it didnt work. Relay is fine.

Just a quickie - should the fuel cut-off switch be normally down or up?

Should the fuel-cut-off be up or down for normal operation? (1.7, 2000). Whats its position on a running car?

Hi, its fujipuma again, who started this thread.Thanks for all the comments, and I'll try the suggestions. Right now, I cannot hear the pump anymore. Checked the fuse - it had blown. Replaced it, but still no sound now. Anyone know where the relay is in the Aux. fusebox. There's a picture of...

THanks for the suggestions. I can hear what sounds like a pump, runs for about 1-2 seconds. The button has to be up! - different to the Fiesta, then? I'll give it a go tomorrow

Puma turns over fine, and good spark, but will not start. Should I be getting fuel at the inlet pipe if I turn it over? The car has been involved in an accident, and has been sitting "still" for several years. All repaired now, including replacing the gearbox. Checked the fuel cut-off OK. Could...

Hi, Cartman, It was in the car before, and I've checked another gearbox. I cannot find a hole for such a wire. It runs in the same cable tidy/group as the positive lead for the battery. Also, that might explain why the starter motor does not turn over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd be...
