Default New to escort cosworths bought one good price but need help with few issues

Just bought a L plate mallard green for good price £8500
107,000 miles

I am new to this world I understand I have bought at the wrong end of the market but the car generally is nice etc but

She has a few issues I am of sure where to start

Runs and starts fine

Idles terrible around 2k if your unplug idle valve thing makes no difference did have a pipe missing of the inlet,manifold a fat one with a yellow ford style spring clip I put that back on made t more stable but still idles high
Got stainless with no cat no sure how mot man will like that
I bought her with no mot

Abs light on all the time bloke Said u can't fix it as no sensors available?

No cam bet cover fitted as he says the yet the belt
He didn't have the cover either


Bit gutless or laggy until it starts going suppose to be un chipped and standard
Has dump vave fitted but I can here it dumping all I here is chatter from kone fitter

I don't think it's a quick as my Ibiza fr diesel. !!!!

Battery light seems to Be on in the back ground all the time faint worse at night

Boost gauge in dash doesn't seem to so anyting but I have found a loose boost style hose in engine bay will get somebody to suck ont see if that's the pipe

Head lining is sagging in rear

Car has momo steering wheel fitted I don't like it want standard any about?
And dash clock is missing again any about

Looks like I have painted a bad picture but its nit bad really

The car was on passionford for sale mallard green



I want to stage 1 the car and generally have her driving nice and working correctly any ideas where o start


Would love to take to msd to sort out but that's a long way from Devon
Cheers in advance tony
