Ive got a Escort si 1.8 r reg, been havin problems wiv it 4 months now, thought we had all ideas wot was wrong wiv it sorted but nothing seems 2 be working.

It runs fine then it will just start mis firing, losing power and running rich, and theres a clicking noise like a relay. I have 2 rev it loads 2 keep it going and then it will stop and start working again, it was doin this every few weeks but now its more than twice a day.

Its been to 2 garges and they dont know the problem and It has had the air flow meter changed and also changed the fuse box but nothing has changed.... help im on the verge of scrapping the bloody thing!!!

 

wheres the clicking comeing from? could be a number of things

 

As said, do you know where the clicking noise is coming from??

 

It sounds like its coming from the dash or below

 

take the lower dash out on the drivers side pull the fuse box down and identify which relay is clicking

 

Fuel Pump Relay. mine did this.. youll have to get a haynes to find out which one it is, they aint much new...

 

I agree, sounds like the fuel pump relay!

 

its a little brown one on then i think just pull them out til the fuel pump doesnt run if its clicking tho its more likely theres something makeing it click ie a bad connection maybe get your test lamp out and check it

 

hope you get it sorted!

 

ok thanks, somebody mentioned it could be something 2 do wiv the ecu tho?

 

An ecu wouldn't click though. I'll put money on it being the fuel pump relay!

 

ok thanks every1 4 ur help
