I found repair videos for acutator and clutch codes where they spray the clutch forks with wd40. Tcm repair video was a tcm from junk yard and a flash reprogram from mechanic. I just have to confirm the starter. Tried tapping the starter. Barley tapping through airbox and hoses.

If your synchros sound like they're grinding then you have wear to them and should get a used low mileage transmission. And install a new clutch and apply component kit in it before install

Over the last week had the engine light come on with Engine malfunction warning... and soon after reduced power... codes read related to DPF problem.. Putting fuel in (used the V power diesel from shell) the above problems got resolved. must of filled up with a batch of bad diesel. However following the car driving with normal power no warning lights.. the coolant fan unit remains constantly on and the trip computer fuel information (to empty, average fuel consumption etc) does not display (except when static on switching the engine on) just dashes... There are code errors no warning lights the errors being U 0401 64 2 Invalid data from ECU + PCM... Wiped the codes off but each time they re-appear same with same symptoms.., can you help me?

2014 ford focus automatic and now the power shuts off while driving it. Engine still runs but the dashboard is off, locks won’t work, blinker won’t work, and the gauges are all off (gas, rpm, mph). I could stop and go but once I shut the car off it had to be jump started and after driving for a minute or two, did the same thing. Tested the battery, starter, and alternator and they’re all great so I don’t know what’s causing this. Guy at oreillys said it’s probably some wiring to the start where the key goes in and to shake the key around to help the signal to the battery take action so it keeps the charge going while driving. But he’s also not a mechanic so I don’t know what to do. Any ideas?

Mine is a ( 2016 Ford Focus ) I've been having Transmission Shuddering at take off, after driving it for more than 30 minutes, or it will shudder after making a few stops at certain number of places - shutting it off at each place, then starting it to go to the next place. After doing that a few times, it will begin Shuddering at each take off when the Light turns green. Then, it smoothes out
@BigBensCarsAndCycles
@BigBensCarsAndCycles 7 ай бұрын
Clutch shudder is something you're going to get on these cars. You can either drive it hard once in a while to mitigate the shudder, or replace the clutch and forks. I've got videos for all that

The purge canister was messed up on mine recently it kept dying on me but kept restarting back up the check engine light was on and it shook when I got gas I’m pretty sure the canister got clogged cuz I was leaving my gas tank on almost empty for a couple months and that’s when my problems started but also u can find all of these and others that ford knows will most likely go out in the paperwork where the warranty part is

@BigBensCarsAndCycles 10 ай бұрын
Yeah the canister can get saturated with fuel and fail if the purge valve leak gets really bad or ignored. if your cars running rich because of a purge valve leak, it's possible it'll need the canister too

I have a 2018 ford focus and it’s making noise, I’m pretty sure it the motor mounts, is that something I need to get replaced with urgency? And how can I confirm that’s the problem.
@BigBensCarsAndCycles
@BigBensCarsAndCycles 8 ай бұрын
Normally the engine mount doesn't fall completely apart, but I wouldn't put it off too long. You can make sure that's the issue by looking at it, see if the rubber is contacting the lower part of the mount which bolts to the frame. You can also jack up the engine until the mount isn't under pressure, to see if the noise goes away

Where are those Ford focus automatic transmission videos lol. I recently had the car stuck in D. Had to access the neutral lever under the shifter to push it into a parking space. Lever went back and its back in park and the D on the SCREEN disappeared after disconnecting negative for 15 min. Now its back to no crank before the transmission issues after that. I'm guessing its a starter right now. One other video said it was that grounding cable in the corner. Starter WAS clicking and making weird sounds like starter was opening and closing and i was getting lucky with starting after closing sound. Now its power up sound to the starter sound. No clicking anymore. No crank. I wonder if the transmission is in Drive and it thats why it wont crank. ....... Damn. 2014 ford focus hatchback. Acutator codes. Clutch codes. TCM codes. Do I have to flash reprogram if i switch TCM
