my friend has a 1990 rwd 2.0 twin cam serria but it will not idle properly, what would be wrong with it anyone any ideas, it has just got the head reskimmed

plus it will not put out any heat whats so ever reason for head bein off in the first place but still no heat, any help be great guys? cheers hugh

 

Has it been timed up again correctly? Does it drive ok?

Could be many things with the heater, does it get to running temp ok?

Could be the heater valve or a blocked matrix as well, need more info to give a more accurate answer.

Are you sure the water pump is working?

 

Timing needs to be spot on, new chains have the mark on them so you can't go wrong, heater matrix being blocked could be whyi ts not getting hit, or the thermostat or the water pump

also make sure the fans are working properly, you should turn the engine off and then spin them by hand first and then remove the fan switch plug from the thermostat housing and, with the ignition on, short the right side pins out and then the left hand side to see if they actually do

finally make sure you fit the lower temp fan switch from the mondeo, it's red rather than the grey one that is standard fit, there is also a green one Whig is halfway in the middle

 

cheers lads, the timing was off at the start but now sorted... ill tel him some of the above and get back to you's, thanks again, hugh
