Problems with Ford Mondeo 2008: smoke, loss of power and possible malfunction of the fuel pressure sensor

Hey guys, I'm having problems with my 2008 Ford Mondeo gasoline engine, it's doing things that are definitely not normal. Black smoke comes out when accelerating, the check engine light is on, cold starts take longer than normal, I notice loss of engine power, jerking when accelerating, fuel consumption is high and the exhaust smells strong. I suspect that the fuel pressure sensor is malfunctioning. Has anyone ever had similar problems and can tell me from their workshop experience how they solved the problem? I would really appreciate any advice and tips.

A 2008 Ford Mondeo is experiencing issues such as black smoke during acceleration, a check engine light, delayed cold starts, loss of power, jerking, high fuel consumption, and a strong exhaust smell. The suspected cause is a malfunctioning fuel pressure sensor. Suggested solutions include checking for fault codes to identify the exact issue, as it could be a simple problem like faulty cable connections. Reading the fault code is recommended to determine the precise cause and potential solutions.

Hi, I had similar problems with my 2006 Ford Focus. I have little experience with cars, so I took the problem to my garage. They found that my cable connections were faulty. After they repaired them for 155 euros, the car ran perfectly again. Have you read out a fault code yet? If so, could you share it here? It would help me to share more details and possible solutions. Sometimes it's minor issues that can have a big impact.

It's interesting to hear about your experience. Well, I should probably be prepared for a similar amount. I haven't read out a code yet, just wanted to see if anyone had similar problems. I haven't taken my Ford Mondeo to the garage yet. Let's see if that changes soon. So, it was last checked at 142705 km.

Well then, don't stress. It's always good to see if others have had similar problems and experiences. In my case, it was actually simple cable damage. It could be that your Ford Mondeo has the same problem. On the other hand, with the check engine light, the smell and the black smoke, it almost sounds as if you could actually have a functional fault in the fuel pressure sensor. But without an exact code from the fault memory, it's just guesswork. Would recommend you read out the fault code or have it read out to see what exactly is going on. Ideally, it's something small that can be fixed quickly and won't cost you too much. And if you're lucky, it really is just a cable. Ultimately, there are many possibilities, but without the error code, it's all just speculation. If anything comes up, let us know. Maybe we can find a solution together. Hope this helps you and you get it sorted soon.

Hey, thanks for your reply! That's a good hint to read out the error code. I'll definitely do that in the next few days and post it here. It could be that it really is just a cable. Until then, I'll just hope for the best and that it's nothing serious. I'll let you know when I have more information. See you soon and thanks again!
