Hi folks,
I've been having problems with a rough idle in my 1.7 puma.
Tried lots of things including cleaning iscv (twice) and a few other things, but problems is still there.
Heres a link to my issues in a different post: http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=144249#p144249" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Anyway,
I've had the car in a garage, they plugged the diags in, it came up with only one fault code.
It was a Cam position sensor reading too high/low intermittantly.
It was temporarly swapped with a known good one and ecu reset, no fault codes came up on the diags, but still had the same fault with a very poor idle & sometimes stalling completely.
The mechanic says the engine sounds like it has the incorrect oil in.
I know your run of the mill zetecs are supposed to always have 5-30 in them or they can missfire a tad, but does the 1.7 puma zetec suffer from the same issue, and could incorrect oil really make it run as bad as it is?
Thanks for any pointers.
