finally got one after selling my golf,and 50 odd miles down the road she breaks down!

broken fuel line,really had been bodged!so 2 hour stuck on junction 27 of the M1,thank god a mate who lives near by came and helped me sort it else id have been feckerd!

but now thats sorted!!needs fair bit of body work,but thats my trade so im not worried about that!!

im a little worried by when ive booted it for abit,it seems like it missfires when its coming into boost?is this normal?has standard hoses would this be a problem?as ive got a load of samcos coming for it.

ill get some pics n cstuff up later cheers

miss fires r not normal mate... that indicates sumthins wrong... cud b fuel starvation as u sed u had fuel problem...


best thin to do is take it and have it set up *ign timing/ CO etc* then go from there

JezSierra

cheers mate,so would it be normal for abit then?then just all of a sudden not want to boost,also on high boost the clutch slips,whats the best clutch to get for them?

PaulT

Alright mate if in Nottingham dont go to Geoff Bloors go to Nobles in Chesterfield for tuning and if you need any bits give us a shout.

PaulT

go get her set up!

JezSierra

cheers fellas

how come not to use geoff bloors paul,thought he was good?

i will be giving you a shout ver shortly!!

JezSierra

well,im having a few problems now!!

the car is now stuck at work,and doesnt want to run right,its fine on tickover but when you try to drive it,it just wants to cut out,unless its driven really carefully and slow,but you cant get out of 1st gear else it does cut out,does anyone have any ideas?

i tightened the hose clips up on the turbo to the metering unit i think its called,could i have done something to cause this?

any help much appreciated cheers guys oh yeah does anyone know anything about the car E444 TNY

cheers

TIFF

Get it to Norris Motorsport and get it set-up properly

Junc 28 M1

JezSierra

the thing is,i cant get it there as it wont drive very far!

oh yeah.youll know if the midlands PF meet is still going wont you? hows your ST TDCI going or have you got rid now?

TIFF

Still got the Mondeo ST TDCi...Thats the family/Missus car mate

As for the Midlands PF meet.....It needs to be arranged again soon, i will look into it

gzetec

i had a similar prob wiv mine and i changed the fuel relay thing!!

the pink/purple lookin relay and that sorted it
i'm not very tchnical but worth a try

JezSierra

well i know i got a dodgy fuel pump,but i dont think its the problem,but ill have a check,it it hard to upgrade to a cossie fuel pump?

im gonna book it into NMS for a set up

tiff is there gonna be a meet this month do you think?

JezSierra

checked the fuel pump and put petrol in it,so i know theres no problem there

it sounds like theres an air block,where should i check if thats the case?could someone show me pics ect and tell me where i should be chcking?

cheers

scottbrown

my old one did this when i un plugged the cold start, soon as I plugged it back in again it was fine.
check the cold start is plugged in on back of inlet manifold

JezSierra

cheers scott

got some pics of her allthough they are crap!!











sorry about the pics,it looks bit of a shitter at the min,but soon as the mechanical side of its sorted,im gonna crack on with the body work,hoping to get the underside of the car painted tomorrow or in the week some time,and get my wheels painted at some point soonish.


oh yeah the pics were taken when i was broken down at the roads side at junction 27 of the M1

PaulT

The breakdown was not on a sunday evening was it? you know what happens at J27 on sunday eveningsLOL
saxo time

JezSierra

lol no i know what happens sunday evenings lol

it was on the bank holiday monday

do you goto mfn or 27 on a sunday,if so what car you in ill look out for you,ill be in my mates orangey couloured clio 182

JezSierra

well just been upto see the car,and it wouldnt even start now,also found a connector at the back of the inlet manifold that comes off the bulk head,but its not connected to anything,and i cant see where it would connect to,its got a white casing with the actual casing just being 2 little conectors inside if that makes sense?hope someone can shed some light on it for me?!? cheers

TIFF

That is the cold start valve...Reconnect it mate and try it then

RobL

thatll be your problem ,thats the cold start switch

JezSierra

the thing is i cant see where it connetcs to,there looks asthough theres nothing there,and i cant understand why it was running fine up untill friday?

JezSierra

right,think its the fuel pressure now,so hopefully it should be back on the road tomorrow fingers crossed

also has anyone fitted mondeo st24 breaks to there RS?if so what is needed for the conversion?
