also looked at a few that when first fired up hunt a bit till you drive them is this a normal problem sorry for my ignorance but im a cvh boy lol

 

it is hunting wildly (nearly stalling) perhaps spluttering at low revs when driving then its most likely the Idle speed control valve at fault. These can be cleaned up, failing that a new one from fords is about Ł90. Quite a common fault on these cars. Bad coil pack wiring, coil packs can also cause this. If its just a mild hunt at idle i wouldn't worry about it to much. Mine occasionally does this from time to time for no particular reason.

 

yer its only a mild hunt , thanks mate

 

check the rear chassis legs and check the wishbones.....

 

yer looked at a right basket case the other day that was like that

 

Mine was dead smooth, untill I changd the cams

 

Rough idle can also be attributed to an air leak on the inlet system. A quick test is to un-plug the ISCV's electrical plug, the engine should stall right away, if it chugs on then you have an air leak
