Galaxy Matrix Electrics

well ! since you ask, bearing in mind the car (diesel) has done in excess of 200,000 miles every now when going down the motorway 60/70 mph the engine loses power for a split second, a puff of smoke out the back and all again is smooth. My heart stops catches up , I breathe quickly for an instant and all is again is smooth ! CHECK CONNECTOR ON PUMP and the electric window don't work (passenger) POSS WIRE BREAK IN DOOR RUBBER and the central locking failed then the driver's door lock mechanism broke and fell inside the door ! SCREWS WERE SLACK AND POSS BLOWN FUSE and the stereo loses its settings everytime I turn the ignition off ! 2 FEEDS TO STEREO CONSTANT LIVE WHICH IS MISSING DID LOCK AND RADIO GO SAME TIME AS ABOVE but it is a (F)ix (O)r ®epair (D)aily lol And next please roll up roll up :ph34r: -

Injector Pump Problems
zorgman replied to flyinsaxo's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
test your valve has power by using a test lamp or meter as soon as ign is switched on it gets 12v for 3-5 secs then shuts off when u crank engine 12v comes back and will stay there if engine runs, no 12v then take off the wire and run 12v from battery u must remove the car wire off pump. if you have a start off engine its that stupid multiconnector at fault make sure that wire going in comes out at other side being known wires moved in plug or socket if need be what ive doneis cut wires one by one and remake off with proper terminals i always solder and shrink wrap -
