today of all days i thought i mite as well check my car before i go out

i topped the water system up with a nice lot of anit freeze and while i was doing it for some reason i thought i would pull my oil filler cap off when i did the car didnt die like there meant to
can anyone give me some advice to as why it didnt

 

lots of cars dont die when you pull the oil filler cap off.

 

it used to tho on the old engine i had and also theres oil coming out of my chump valve would it be a crap oil breather system

 

ERSTs are supposed too as the engine works off vacum.

Mine dies when i take my cap off

 

Oil commin out dump valve, well 90% rst's do this anyway, depends how much tho, if its allot then worn oil seals on the turbo.

 

thats wot i thought and when it didnt i came in and posted on here

 

its a new turbo and it dont smoke at all where as my last one did alot all i can think of is its a breather problem making oil go to the metering unit via that big pipe

 

check the breather hose that returns to the block isnt "blocked" lol cant see it going through metering head tho could be possible tho although never heard of it happening, wldnt rule it out. take boost hose off turbo and metering unit and you'll be able to tell where the oils comming from i'd immagine!!

as for engine not stalling when cap's pulled off, well could be due to worn piston rings, if ure worried get a compression check, not every RST does it tho afaik, although they should

 

hope it aint worn piston rings cos its hardly done any miles its rebuilt with low comp pistons and steel rods if it was wouldnt it chuck out smoke all the time while im driving it

dont think the pipe going from rocker cover to the block is blocked

the oil in the metering unit couldnt it come from the pipe that goes round the bk of te engine from the oil breather system

 

the pipe that goes round the bk of te engine from the oil breather system


check that the pipe hasn't gone rock hard and it's NOT full of old baked oil from years old shit, all the Rst Escorts I know round my way stall when you remove the filler cap unless their running Efi systems or an other.

 

the pipe that runs round the bk of then engine is a solid one that goes to the metering unit

 

it shouldnt be solid less its blocked

 

i swear on my car its a plastic blk pipe that runs round the engine to the bottom on the metering unit
