Hi
I am new to this forum. My name is Gerhard and I have a Puma 1.6 from 2002 for over a year now. So far without problems, till now.
Now the engine is vibrating below 2000 rev and especially when leaving. At higher revs the engine feels fine and has power.
The history: For quite some time I ignored the engine management light, it came and went. After haevy misfiring I found that the coil didn't work properly and changed it together with all cables with original ones and the sparkplugs with aftermarket ones. Then the misfiring was gone but I found the symptomes described above. I changed the new aftermarket spark plugs against original Ford ones, no change. I checked compression and found it to be OK. To check if it's coming from the lambda sensors I disconnected both of them, disconnected the battery a while. When starting with the disconnected sensors it was no change.
Then I brought the car to the garage. There they checked again compression, the adjustment of the cranckshafts and the valve play. Then they told me that the injectors were blocked and I should put some cleaning stuff in the next 2 tanks. After no improvement I disasambled the injectors with the fuel rail and was spraying a bit petrol in the air, for me all injectors seem to work the same and fine.
Also I checked the digital display and found nothing strange I think:
dtc ... None
Some values were different from those shown in that link http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=223#p223" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but I have no clue what the values mean?
L5 (maybe LS) me: - 0 link: - 6
Pd me: Od, link OC
PE1 me 231, link 61
PE6 me 050, link 0
In addition I have a problem with changing the gears. I assume it's the hydraulic system of the clutch and changed already the cylinder at the pedal but no change. So I guess it's the cylinder at the clutch. But before spending some more 100 I want to make sur the engine is OK. I am quite sure the clutch is independent from the engine because the vibrations are also the when I press the clutch and just rev up the engine.
Any other ideas what I could check.
Thank you for your help.
Gerhard
