ha ha - after searching google for a problem with my engine i found my own thread lmafo - ok so might aswell update y'all. Back up to full running power with the t230. Considering its age (well everything is effing new) it goes effin well for a 230 bhp focus

Anywho - im well chuffed that ive got her running again. You know can get up in morning start her , nice idle 950 rpm etc etc , it feel effing ace. And the best thing is i did it 90 percent myself. Yep thats the best feeling - all that time and effort and it bloody runs!

10 percent was due to the fact im still bit wuss about doing timing and dont have tools to do clutch bymyself however the hardest part was refittig fuel tank whilst holding the fuel tank with one hand and lining up the canister withthe other and making it all line up . Dont know if it had been easy for some of you but it was snowing, car was jacked up on a slight hill i was bymyself it was dark and i was on my back : (was so lonely)

Well its all good now APART from the fact the car will not run with a cam sensor plugged in. I have tried my old one, a new one and one that came with the crate engine....

I also have a flutter whilst crusing ie if im in 5th gear doing 50mph , i may decrease my speed slight overrun, its when i accelerate again slightly the car judders violently untill i increase throttle. - ANY IDEAS???

Thanks for all your previous input people - i am now going to read the threadto see if there have been any updates since i last posted. TTFN
