i got a escort rs s2

last last i booted it and it kind of sounded like it backfired. my mate told me after when he was behind me a little flame (spark) came out of exhaust.

well as soon as that happened my car now and feels as though its running on 3 cylinders. really really lumpy. it sorts of sounds like buuuhhh buuuuhhh buuuhh.

also it sort of fucking judders when slowing down in eny gear on low revs.


what the hell has happened lol???????????????

 

i checked compression earlier and all 4 was about 1.50.

so compression is ok

???????????????????

im gna try and change rot arm and cap first

 

i think your cars had to much to drink, thats what i sound like when im pissed

 

any one gna reply then or whaT??????????

 

Mine used to do that when it hit the boost limiter.

Check for air leaks I reckon.

 

check the leads, and see if it is running on 3. I had this the other night, and 1 lead had melted on the turbo heat shield. Replaced lead and all was well

 

leads seem ok. the plug on the far left seems as though there is not alot of spark.

when u take it out with engine on its the only one that doesnt seem to make a difference.

going to replace rot arm and cap first

 

check the spark plugs see if its in one piece as well

 

i hope it aint head gasket.

 

As above check rotor arm, coil. Spark plugs set to correct gap

 

changed leads and plugs. no difference.

next step is replace rotary arm and cap
