hi all

just finished rebuilding my 1992 rs1800 fiesta engine and put it back in the car. seems to be having a few issues though.

i start the car which fires first time but within 3 seconds it cuts out. this is repeated about 3 times before it starts / nearly cuts out but then manages to keep going. ideling around 1000rpm and seems a bit rough. i have to pull the accelerator cable just slightly to get the throtel body to open every so slightly before it sounds a bit better. from this point it's generally up and down 300 - 500 revs constantly.

i've obviously got something wrong but cant figure it out.

any ideas?

thanks in advance
