Hi
This car is hard to start. The customer says that it has already been to Ford who have put new plugs in it and serviced it.
The customer said that he flattened the battery twice trying to start it to get it to the garage it is at now.
Garage tried a new battery but it still is very difficult to start.
When I looked at it today it was a non start from cold, no DTCs,live readings ok, it has spark.
Checked the cam and crank trace in Pico and it looked ok [I will come back to this]
I checked the injection duration and it is anywhere between 30ms and 75ms!
The only time I have come across this before is when the cam timming has been out, but comparing this cam-crank waveform against a known good [running] the placing looks good [however, the garage is checking the cam timming]
Can anyone tell me what the cranking voltage for the cam sensor is. I am thinking that a low voltage may give the results above.
