This is driving me potty now. One moment I will boot my car and it will fly Then a couple of moments later I can boot it and it pinks so much it sounds like the cam is about to jump out the top of the engine.

Any ideas of things I can try before Steve and the SCC boys get lumbered with my car again?

Any help gratefully received

 

Fuel starvation ???

When was you fuel filter last changed ?

 

Sounds to me like the 5th inj isnt working be very carefull,i had my driver box where i could see it to make sure the inj light was on on boost ,as the symtoms u have would indicate running VERY LEAN.

try the dizzy & is the little black thing on top of it okay ???

in the 3 years i have owned mine - its had 2 new ford unit's - bearing in mind,i dont drive mine much .... !!!!!

 

My MF2 driver is in the glovebox so I'll have aplay with it tonight. Puzzled why it flys one minute and pinks the next though

 

A word of advice run your mf2 off a 2.5 bar escort cossie map sensor i guess you using the press switch ? am i corret? if so they can be very tempramental esp with heat etc they work 1 min then they dont been there done that1 lol much much better of a map sensor and easy to do fuels loads better .
Karl set mine up sound was 100% better than the swith

Oh and dont use the wiring diagram out the book they got 2 wires wrong way round pmsl on the map sensor cannot remember which ones though lol

 

Cheers.

I'll have a play tonight and see if I can suss it. Cossie map sensor may need to be added to my shopping list

 

steve a cossie should be added next to the shopping list

 

Don't want one

Getting a house has ruled out Cossie ownership and it's touch and go whether I'm even gonna be able to keep my beantin

 

ya sleep in a car but ya cant drive a house ( unless ya live with jim galbally that is )

 

hasnt the headgasket just blown?

when it was repaired, was it timed / set up correctly?

 

That's what I say mate.

Saddly since the demise of the Fiesta Rachel looks at my car now and doesn't see a car she see's a new kitchen or nicely decorated lounge
