RS Turbo EFI - Boost and Idling Issues
Hi All,
Having a bit of bother with one of my cars.
Its a Fiesta RS Turbo EFI engine in an escort and running OFAB on a T3
It is having some problems which are beginning to drive me mad, Would appreciate any help i can get with them
- Idles Poorly, sounds really lumpy, Cleaned the ISCV and it got a bit bitter but still lumpy
- When on boost it picks up fine but as soon as you got flat out in any gear the car starts kangarooing, (lunges back and forward but boost pressure doesnt appear to change on the gauge) but is really violent till you let your foot off the gas
Car isn't chipped , Any ideas?

You need to fit at the very least Beige injectors and a chip to suit those injectors and a T3.

I tried turning the boost down to 3 or 4 psi and it is still doing it, I wouldnt have thought it would have needed chipped if it was running low boost and standard injectors?

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Not sure about the kangarooing, most likely to be fueling.
On the lumpy idle, check the crank case breather filter isn't clogged up and that the vacuum pipework from the inlet manifold to it is clear.

I know this is an old post, but i have the same issues and wondering if a 165 Chip or something similar really does just sort most of it out with the CO set up etc, as it seems really off to me.
