have an Escort RS Turbo Cabriolet, Back in aug the engine blew up so i've spent the las few months getting new engine turbo etc. I put it all back together but it wouldn't start so I took it to a repuatble performance garage to get it set up and mot'd etc. I got it back with full MOT, and running but ... it still didnt start well from cold, the garage said i should press the flap down on the metering head slightly and sure enough this did make it start.
They said i should try changing the Cold Start Valve and the Thermo time switch which i have done made no difference. I fiddled with the metering head by pushing flap all the way down and next time i started it it was running on 3 cylinders ( I have now changed the metering head aswell but it doesn't start at all now. i also found out that the plugs on the back of the inlet manifold were on the wrong way round the Thermo Time switch and the Coolant temp sensor were the wrong way round according to the haynes manual (confused me because its supposed to be yellow and brown but ive got dark brown and light brown!)


Now doesnt start at all, can smell petrol, have checked still get spark? Mystery??? I have also changed over the fuel presure thing that has the screw underneath to alter the fueling from my old one, still no joy?
can anyone please help!!?????????????????
