are we sitting comfortable.... then we will begin.......It was a cold January night when grawler the granada Scorpio 2.9 12v ultima estate decided it wanted to pull a strop.....on this day it drove 50 miles in the mornin no problems then it drove back....... good as gold with a smile on its wide mouth frog face
any way it took the kids to nursery no probs but when it was started with no problem but growler had no power........it seem to run fine but with no power
anyway the bonnet was pulled and the spark was checked ...and everything seemed to be ok.
but she wasnt well with her engine running all the plug leads on the drivers side could be pulled off and still she ran you could evern pull one off the passenger side so there where 2 pots running the engine ands still she ran.........so new plugs where given to her but still no power so that ruled out spark leads plugs dissy cap.....so that left FUEL
now shes a good girl and never had less than half a tankso that ruled out s**t in the fuel line now up she ran good as gold and the injector plugs wheere pulled and checked for a ressistance of 10.8 but still the drives side still had no power so she didnt want to play.......now i will. i have a gallon of petrol and a goo inssurance policy unless some kind soul can help me.......................

Check the large multipin plug that fits into the eec which is above the passenger foot well under the glove box and behind the soft trim . I have known this get kicked by people and it can become dislodged .
Also worth checking ALL the multi pin plugs and all fuses and links.
