[2001 ZTS]

No DTC code which, based on ample experience in the matter :rolleyes: rules out fuel pump. I've made an appointment for tommorow. Excessive maintenance POS car.

This time I'll be getting the manager to help me approach Ford to try and find out what can be done as there does appear to be a relationship to fuel. The ECU can't adjust to/learn different brands (not grades brands) of fuel. At least three of the five(?) occaisions the problem appeared immediately after filling with fuel from a company other than "my usual" station.

My usual is an Esso station but I'm not implying it is better than other companies in fact it often described as not being good. I'm just thinking changing brands causes the DPFE to fail becasue the ECU cannot compensate for the differences between the blends and that strains the DPFE. There is a great deal of diffenence between same grades from different companies. They (Ford) "know" something they are not telling, I'm sure of it.

I'll also be checking failure dates, there may be a colder weather relationship as well.

Whatever the case may be it is work that I should not have to be doing.
