Focus will not start - 2001 Ford Focus

It is a clear case of the glow plugs malfunction. It had happened with my neighbor who tried to start his diesel focus one day.
Even jump starting with another battery didn't solve the starting problem.

You could also check the EGR valve for damages and if you want to save a couple of bucks, then go in for used parts for the focus from Good used Focus Stuff

Could be the old battery wasn't your problem. You may have starter issues. You didn't say if the starter,turns over the engine. If the engine turns over fairly fast,you need to check for spark and fuel pressure.

timing belt gone

seems like your battery is down try jumping it.

check with your dealer there is a recall on most focus fuel pumps for this concern.i would start there.

its most likely your starter silonied

there is no actual reset procedure- if its not starting, reseting the pcm will not fix the problem. i would suggest checking the fuel pump or ignition system first

there is a fusible link in the pos. batt. cable that goes bad, have it replaced your prob will go away...i promise... goodluck!

ive had the same problem with my ford focus 1.8 tdci wont start at all towed it to fords who says its the fuel pump and its ganna cost 600- 1,000 pounds hope this helps.

starter motor! good place to start be creative tap it with hamer should start then replace starter!?
