RS Turbo Problems
**also posted in technical**
Escort RS turbo feb 88 (E) reg.
Vehicle starts ok from cold but dies after a sencond or two, but will re start no problems and then run the cold start process perfectly. But once warm up cycle is complete & the car gets hot, the car will not start or starts only with great difficulty when switched off. (Not instantly but if swiched off and left for over 5 mins). Seems to be starved of fuel or evaporating
Vehicle is standard bar Mongoose exhaust & K&N panel filter,very well maintained, has covered 126K but runs superb.
Items replaced,All genuine Ford components. (in order of doing so).
Eng fuel pump relay, eng temp sensor & thermo time switch.
Air bypass valve & throttle potensiometer.
Cold start injector & air temp sensor.
Fuel accumulator, pressure regulator & main fuel pump.
Fuel filter & fuel treatment.
BACKGROUND INFO.
Fuel metering unit with ecu & spark map ecu fitted just over three years ago, Co'2 set correctly. Distributor replaced two years ago due to total but unrelated failure.
HELP!! Any idea's
