Hi
I'm new on this site i was hoping to get some help for my Cosworth
15 days ago it started to behave very strange when i'm starting it
at first it took me about a minute and a half to start it
i must mention that when it starts i don't have any more problems with starting it same day, but when a leave it for the night i get the same problem in the morning and now i can't start it at all
the engine turns but it won't start
i also have a problem conecting my lap-top with computer
i downloaded the diagnostics program but can't conect
please any help is appreciated

Hello and Welcome
Work your way through the fault finder for non starting.
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/faultfinds.htm
You have downloaded the software from http://www.obd-2.com?
have you bought the OBD lead from there?

My 24V did this and it was the sender unit in the fuel pump. Nightmare before correct diagnosis!
