2005 v6 escape with 18000 k's somtimes just won't start. when this happens all gauges go to full scale and then return to normal after engine has started.
any input would be greatly appreciated.

Still under warranty! Take it to the dealership.

done that hopeless computer shows no codes etc etc got the lemon me thinks.

Then if there are no codes, it could be a fuel delivery problem.

What is this with Dealerships that can't fix Fords? I work at a great Ford Dealer in Erie, PA that has the #1 goal to "Fix it Right". Our dealer will not release a vehicle back to the customer until it is fixed, period! The customer gets a loaner and we fix the vehicle. Ford has the best online tech support of any motor company, and great diagnostic tools.

Sorry for my rant, I just get mad when I read posts that say the dealer can't fix it, because that's bull!

thats okay ford australia have a bit if a history in this department and its not just local dealers either. whn you ask if there are any problems with the things there response is always no this is the only one. that is why this forum is such a great tool. especially for the escape as you have them over there as well. admittly built in two different locations but from what i've read the problems are still the same. thanks anyway mate for your input.Brad.
