Nay. The iphone has its own stupid connector.

You could try cleaning the crank position sensor incase thats got some shite on it,and also if its done about 40000 miles on its fuel filter,try changing that

Pete/tim - buy an elmscan 327 bluetooth chinese copy thing on ebay, download the app sorted for a tenner.

 

Far as the fusion goes, I think the ISCV is part of the throttle assembly (which is a nasty plastic POS) and best course of action is to change the whole throttle body for a new one.

The throttle body is ally but the manifold is plastic.

New plugs inserted... STILL THE SAME!! Infact it wouldn't start for a while as the bores were full of water that had poured in when I removed the spark plugs. There's a specialist down the road so i'm just going to take it there and take the hit for whatever it costs.

If its water ingress you had,try a coil pack and leads set first,plus check your crank sensor isn't mucky - just unbolt it,wipe it over,then try it again.If you do surrender to a garage,try your local Ford dealer;they will have seen dozens,and should be able to place their finger onto the problem very quickly.Another thing to try is a bottle of fuel system conditioner incase the fuel in the tank has gone a bit stale,or got a little contamination in it

Cleaned the crank sensor today and it did seem a little grubby. It seemed to run much better afterwards but did stall once when slowing down to let an approaching car come though. Usually a similar trip would induce about a million stalls incidents. Basically the issue is still there but seems to be a bit better.

You should have gotten yourself some proper shite.

Maybe you can PX it for an Allegro?

Surely a Fusion semi-auto is 110% shite the day it rolled from the factory?

Dose it up on fuel injection system cleaner and take it for a nice spritely run,might help improve it further.Usually,the Duratec engines from what ones I have encountered seem pretty sweet natured
