ZVH Problem!!
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping the technical geniuses here may be able to help! I have a 1.8 ZVH EFi in my Fiesta RS Turbo, it runs and Idles right, but is running really rich, about 8-10% CO! it was on beige injectors and an MSD Chip, but we removed the chip and replaced the Blue injectors, I have checked all the sensors and they seem to be OK, I have replaced the CO pot as it wasn't making a blind bit off diference, it help a little! I have taken the head of as i wanted to lap the valves in, as we forgot when we built it, and also I'm replacing the cam and followers as they are worn, I dont think that this will cause the issue, but maybe contribute!?
I'm considering getting the car up and running again, and running it for a week or so, see if it clears up and settles down, as the engine was a fully rebuilt block, but then I dont want to run the risk of bore wash!
I would love to run custom mangement but I cant really afford that right now!
Any advice or pointers would be a great help and really appreciated!
anyone interested in seeing the car..

in all honesty the management is the problem, the 1.8 has a longer stoke than a 1600 and consequently the map will be quite different.
you need to get it on rollers and the ecu chipped to suit.
i'm using megasquirt on a zvh and i tried an rst map and had the same problems.

Motorsport Developments custom mapped the car, although I was unable to get it suet up on the rollers to the map, as I am in Cornwall.
What version of megasquirt are you running?

that's right, the chip would probably only aid fuelling over the standard boost rating on ecu.
you must remember that a bigger displacement engine won't necessarily require more fuel low down nor will it give the same MAP readings as a smaller engine.
check fuel pressure isn't too high, check the injectors are clean and got a good squirt pattern.
check all sensors are working by unplugging them to check, if the CTS one isn't reading then it'll overfuel as if it's cold starting.
