S2 KE jetronic help!!!!
Doing my head in now This is the last chance for my mfi before I rip it out.
Long story but I will keep it short. My S2 will not run for love nor money. Every part of the fuel system has been checked and renewed. You name it, it has been checked and renewed.
Cold start it fires up but wont idle. Then it will eventually start holding down metering flap but still wont idle and dies. Then wont restart at all.
Checked everywhere for air leaks. Had metering unit reconditioned and set up on a test rig.
Got it going once in the last 2 months, took it for a spin was running great till pulled up at lights it idled then died and wouldn't restart. Looked a right t**t.
Ive spent thousands on this car restoring it gradually. Bodywork and engine wise. Set up last year on rolling road and pumping out 215 bhp which was great. Now I want to push it in the river.
Any sympathy would be most appreciated but advice would be great.
Thanks guys

Although it's an expense and a pain, your best bet is to convert it to EFI from a Fiesta RS Turbo, which will eliminate the Metering unit problems for ever and you get turbo chatter as an added bonus

I love RS Turbos, but when they start misbehaving like this I hate them lol!

Problem solved....fuel pump relay kept melting ( on my second third one now ). Fuel pump was drawing too much current on burning out the relays.
Sourced a new one through Motorsport Developments...a Bosch 941 upgrade...and with a bit of new wiring and connectors its on and running like a dream
Back on the road and running great...happy days
