Default 200bhp 2.0 zetec s help overfueling

recently brought a focus built by motors that has been sat for a while drove car and it was quite slow to start with like a deisel after about 3o miniutes of driving and had thoroughly warmed up it was like driving a 200 bhp car it flew but is overfueling quite a bit doesnt fire up straight away and is so slow and sluggy on short journeys its got fast road cams lightend crank and flyweel , alpha weber ecu, running on carbs , 4-2-1 manifold and is ridiculous on fuel atm , but like i said if i was to drive it for half hour it would be so quick and drive faultless help

that was a good buy mate. You have to find a weber alpha dealer with the right software to map this. Try northampton motorsport mate.

Clean those air filters and it'll make about 500bhp
