OK Jim please advise. is the 1.6zetec fundamentally the same as a Mondeo 2.0zetec of the same year? If so my mondeo failed in a strange way, where the test bloke said it looked like the Lambda was at fault but would have expected 'X' to be out as well which it wasn't. The fault diagnosed by anot

I have a similar problem on my H4 which has never been resolved... Garage fitted new Cat/Lambda sensor, check showed no fault codes on the ECU but emmisions were still slightly over... in the end they passed it out of sympathy I think. Subsequent MOT's have been sympathetic in passing it as well

I'm not an expert on Ford ECUs (except the Cosworth, which uses the same Weber as my Fiat) but in general, ECUs just don't fail - if they do, things stop, and that's about it. So this is a bit generic... ECUs calculate the petrol and timing based on (a) air mass flow or (b) manifold pressure, modi
