Ford Focus starting problems, car just won't start

I have recently replaced the power steering fluid in my ford focus 1800 tdi and it was fine till my lady got back from the supermarket, it suggests that the immobiliser switched into operation, but now the engine is turning over but not starting, can anyone point out as to why this might be happening please

ya, drive it though the ford show room window, i think we all need to be doing something, instead of being shit on all the time.

Try the fuel rail sensor

D. Did the garage who changed your fuel pump change the fuel filters also? If not get this done. If it cures the problem, get your filters changed regularly. I must point out all garages charge for this job but none actually do it. It might be that you have picked up some dirty fuel.

My Focus had a new duel pump in January 2013. it has also had a new starter motor in the last three years. My car starts then it will loose power and stop and will not restart for an hour. The garage have changed the fuel relay switch, put a new breather pipe on. I has a new battery and the plugs and leads have been checked. It has also been on a fiagnostic machine where no faults are shown. I have lost my confidence in taking the car out on my own, as that garage have said they think they have fixed the problembut it has stopped again. Any ideas, could the fuel pump be faulty and would the garage still cover it?

I changed petrol filter on my ford focus 2009 an now there's no petrol coming thru so my car wont start. Am I doin somethin wrong

won't amp is a Ford Focus MK1 98 1.6 Alternator petrol 70amps or 80amps

The glow plug indicator light is erratic. On switching when Glow plug indicator light of a TDCI diesel car doesn't glow then engine not start, keep the car for sometimes Glow plug indicator light will glow and the engine will start.

We have had starting problems with our 2009 Ford Focus diesel TDI for a year on 8 occasions. The Ford dealer decided it was due to using super market fuel as it started when they changed the fuel filter. That cost over £200 including the towing to the garage. About 3000 miles later, same again. Different one man business, small local and usually first class, called on to help.
Advised we had used supermarket fuel as it started when filter changed again.
(How come all these cars who queue up at supermarket petrol stations are not stranded too?).
1300 miles later same again, this time we had been careful to fill up at top fuel stations - the inconvenience can be imagined. Change of filter and it started.
Short time later repeat of non starting.
Our man was on holiday so we tried another small local garage. He replaced the fuel filter, it started however he at least applied diagnostic test and said there was still a problem somewhere.
He investigated immobiliser and cleaned and adjusted wire connectors.
Short time after didn't start again.
Finally our small local garage man after working all day on the car has found the EGR valve was faulty, he replaced it and the engine started, put the old one back on and it didn't start.
So hallelujah we think this dedicated garage mechanic may have solved the problem!
So anyone else in same situation go for the EGR valve!

We have spent well over a £1000. The most maddening thing is these Ford Dealers who when they do not really know the cause of the problem just change the fuel filter and say it is "supermarket fuel" rather like a doctor saying it is a virus!

I have a 2009 ford focus 2ltr tdci,about four months ago it refused to start just turning over but not firing up,took it to my local garage who tried various things to no avail.They sent it to a diesel specialist who fitted a new fuel pump,the car ran ok for a few months but has developed the exact same symptoms and is back with diesel specialist who fitted fuel pump,they have had the car for a fortnight now and can not pinpoint the problem,sometimes it will start then five minutes later it won't,any help would be greatly appreciated ,this has so far cost me 800 pounds.

i have a 99 estate 1.6 petrol ford focus it suddenly wouldnt rev and lost power can any body help

i have a 2009 focus with 86000 had hot start problem since about 40000 three mechanic no help replaced starter and battery no codes shown

I have a 2006 1.6tdi sport Ford Focus the oil pump failed causing the engine to wreck. I have replaced the engine but the car refuses to start or turn over? Different versions depending who you ask are. The brain has to match the key and the fuel pump? Anyone had this problem?

i have a focus tdi 1550 and i am getting fuel or eletric problems with it . as i drive it it feels like ther is water in the fuel you put yor foot down and it will not go no power then it will suddenly go and will blow black smoke just a bit. and when you coast it feels like it is misfireing does anyone know wats causing this problem?

Had same problem, there is a connection for the fuel pump under the back passenger seat, drivers side, there is a bung with a wire going into it, pull the bung out and fiddle about with the connection clip whilst someone is trying to start the car up, if no joy the clip may need replacing, the fuel tank would have to be dropped for this, or u cud just do the work from inside by cutting into the metal then soldering back. Hope this helps :)
