Default ACT

i already have have an act gauge fitted to my rst.

but it appears to be on the blink as it were, so i'm decided to get a new one.

at the moment it is dropped into the inlet manifold, via the take off elbows, for the ecu etc.

my query is, it dosen't appear to be fixed in, what i mean is the top of the elbow has been drilled, and the lead that goes in, is basically wobberly.

the bf hasn't taken it off yet, a he thought it may cause a few probs if it was busted, is this the best place for it, or would it be better on the inlet plenum?

thanks as always guys

Charge carier pipe is where the Ford ACT sensor is so i'd fit it near that one or maybe in the plenum.
If yours is loose where it is then you'd have a small air leak.

john, mines on the right just like jambos!

just out of intrest how secure are your wires, the bf can wiggle ours in and out a 1cm, and it makes no differnce to the idle.

.....unless of course the car has been adjusted in the past to compensate the air leak???
