Any ford KA gurus on here?? need a bit of advice,.
i have recently bought the wife a 2004 KA , it has the 1.3 duratec engine but it is starting to be a pain to start in the morning, it keeps turning over and takes ages to fire, once its running it starts fine but when you plant your foot on the throttle it has a minor missfire, any ideas would be great as im not very good with KA`s

Apologies I was getting confused with another engine. You want a ect sensor it's down by the thermostat housing. There is 2 one is a temp sender for the gauge. There not a lot of money.

My wifes Ka had a misfire under load, turned out the coilpack had cracked (and we got lucky in the fact that it didn't fry the ecu which is apparently quite common for failing/failed coilpacks).

No. 4 lead is ****. The end breaks in the rubber. To be fair, misfire at starting is a bit unlikely to be coil, they usually fail under load, unless it's totalled! Then you would know it'd miss all the time. Have you got a mil light or anything?
