Paid £70 quid posted with good word.
No it was actually someone off here, Ive messaged him to explain my dissapointment and im going to see what he has to say.

 

Oh! That is dissapointing!

 

Yeah thats what i thought. A fellow Ford enthusiast ripping me off. Just goes to show thats someones word these days isn't worth shit.

 

That's bang out of order mate....annoys me when people do that cos it puts people off buying things from the genuine people on here, i'd never sell anything that wasn't as described! I too have been stung buying bits from people, even had a 'trader' sell me a fucked turbo that smoked worse than the old one lol.....that had only done 2000 miles too apparently!

 

The seller has offered me a refund so redeemed somewhat. I was just excited to get my hands on what i thought was going to be a cushty metering unit.
nevermind tho.

 

Shame I wont be EFI for a few weeks yet or you could have had mine which is A1 mate.

 

cheers man.
well hold on to it mate as my car aint going no where for a while yet lol

 

Well finally did a compression test today.
I used 3 different gauges to get an average reading.

160 psi on all 4!, which now leaves me still unsure about the det issue with my car.

Next on the list is to get the fuel pressure checked and see what thats doing!!!

 

what plugs are you running?

 

some form of NGK's

 

CR is extremely unlikely to be your problem here.

Check:

1) Spark Plug heat range.
2) Basic ignition timing
3) Timing on boost.

If 2 and or 3 are wrong, suspect thw ECU or its signal pipe to have a problem.

 

Ok, Fuel pressure test 2moro to check the fuel pump is working as hard as it should etc.

If all is ok I shall be on the case of the ECU.

 

I DONT F***ING BELIEVE IT.

After all this faffing about and not having my car on the road for a month. Finally found the det issue today.!!!

The vacuum pipe that goes to the ecu to retard the ignition on boost had somehow wiggled its way under the heater and got squashed!!!!!! lol

 

No way! PMSL! What a nightmare mate!

 

I know. It was the only thing i didnt check cos i had the same thing happen about a year ago!!!

what a joke, at least its all ok now and ready for some power

 

Good work fella.
