Hi guys need some help please
Rst s2 warms up cuts out when pulling away, won't restart until it wants to, can smell petrol so think it's over fueling ?
Thing is it's just come out if garage for same problem
They said the diaphragm in metering head was split,
It is going back to them ASAP
But just wanted to know if it could be something else to check for as I can't get it to the garage
Thanks for any help

Piston Broke

Which diaphragm are they on about mate, think they are pulling one, you need to go to an RS tuners mate i would say, could be as simple as the CTS (yellow plug/switch) at the back of the inlet giving the wrong temperature so adjusting fuel wrong

danrst77

They said it was the diaphragm inside the metering head where the red fuel lines go into it,
Said it was split and they had a spare one,,

The garage used to tune rs's and cossie's back in the 90s
They're based in southend
That's why I went there as my tuner is in London and didn't want to break down on m25 lol
Thanks for your reply

Ok I'll try the yellow plug when I get home cheeRs

danrst77

Still same thing,,, help me someone pls
I don't want to tow the rs on a rope to garage it's
Had full respray, don't want to take chances towing
Rather get it there quick
What else can I try ?
Maybe metering unit f***ed ;(

Id get it transported to an rs specialist. They'll do more harm than good to it if they don't know what they are doing.

danrst77

That's what I'm thinking mate lol
It's bollocks really, they've tuned rs's in the 90s, they're an rs specialist too,,, I spoke to my main tuner who I've been using with my s1 he told me to check something on the metering unit, but it's all good there,,,, but I did notice the throttle position sensor is not clicking, I deffo know that is supposed to,
Also the yellow plug at the back of engine IS broken, I put back on now battery's dead 😡
I'll charge at work Tomoz and run it up see if it's cured the prob

Jano oddkidd is in romford, I would look at renting a flatbed truck and take it to him.

You can get it transported by some people for £1 a mile.


They may have tuned them in the 90s when reasonably new, but that's 15 years ago.


As said Jano is probably your best bet. Best off taking it too one of the best in the country then you know all will be good.


A bad tuner will only cost you more £££ in the long run

Fuel pump relay?

Have you checked for a spark when it cuts out, could be distributer

danrst77

Thanks for all your reply's guys
Didn't realise Oddkidd was in Romford
I'll try all the above at weekend too dark
When I get home lol

Thanks again all 👍

Just an update for all interested,
Charged my girls battery at work last Friday, all ready for sat on the rs
For my day off on, guess what I forgot the DAMN batt, left it at work like a right Pratt,
So,,, as it's dark when getting home I haven't try'd anything out on it yet!!!

danrst77

Ok,,, just managed to get on the rs today, started on the key after plugging the yellow plug back on, warmed up fine, then the c***ing thing
Splutters and cuts out,,,
I mentioned the throttle position switch not clicking also,
I've taken this off to elongate the hole to adjust so hopefully
This is the reason
I'll have to get wet Tomoz as it's raining ;(
If all fails then Oddkidd can have a little look

It might just need a set up/tune.

Making the slots bigger in the tps will make things worse.

It sounds like its out of tune pal. It costs very little for a tune up compared to a new engine.

danrst77

It's just had a tune, but not with my normal tuner as he's in London
I'm in southend,,, the car won't make it there

It cant of be right if your cutting slots mate. Just take it some where they know what they are doing.

danrst77

Ok,,,, double checked with someone who used to
Tune rs fords back in the day, said elongating the holes on the tps
Will be fine, until it gets to where I want it to go

Anyways, the rst's running lovely now
Was a combo of yellow plug at the back of engine
Fallen off, and the tps not clicking

I'll take it to where I know and trust now
CheeRs for all reply's and help
Thanks agains
