comon prob is breather pipe, between oil breather on the front of the block 2 the inlet manifold, it wars on other pipes and just generaly gets fuked with age, my mates a fordy mechanic, was just a suggestion as its cheaper to try tht first rather than a lambda which it also cud be, n if the pipes fuked runs crap 2
