Title: what could be the reason?
Post by rich1 on Sep 24^th, 2009, 10:18pm

there is a silver scorpio for sale on ebay , the seller is selling for spares or repair because it runs for 20 minutes then stops and wont start again for another 20 mins or so , what could that be ? seems a nice car other than that

Rich.
Whatever it is it can be sorted,a scan should reveal the problem,maybe just a sensor on the blink.The main things to worry about which could involve big cash are engine,gearbox ,and body rot,followed by rear hubs and brake calipers.

Alister had a similar problem, turned out to be wiring between the EDIS and the ECU.. started ok ran a while then cut out, but his wouldnt start for hours..

wont be much, finding it is the problem ;)

Is it this one HERE ? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-FORD-SCORPIO-ULTIMA-16V-AUTO-SILVER_W0QQitemZ160364883487QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item25567dee1f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

If so, then it sounds like the fuel cut off loom (engine loom) could be shot :)

....Could also be something simple like an overheating fuel pump relay :)
