Right this is a strange one.

Its only happened since once again fitting the Bailey Breather kit.

I can be cruising down a road and all of a sudden car jerks very slightly then drives like normal again.

Doesnt happen in any particular gear or any sort of revs.

Is totally random.

Any ideas?

Check you've put the hoses on right. The hose that goes to your air box leave it off then blank of the pipe from your airbox with a bit of pipe and a plug. Hope this works

At the moment i have a pipe from bottom of breather across to the airbox, you saying i should disconnect this?

james_birch

ywah he is! .......just block it off and go for a drive!

Nice_aRSe

Hmmmm fitting kit says your meant to have that pipe there otherwise where is breather going to vent vapour too

I disconnected the cold start valve this morning and it seemed better on the way to work

james_birch

havent got a clue! but what if ya running a induction kit....or does it go to the metering head! there was a how to in last months performance ford on how to fit one! (not saying you done it wrong) or call bailey...they might know why

nice aRSe...just reading about the kit and it says

"The small amount of unwanted oil vapours thet are separated from the oil are vented under the car to atmosphere."

dunno if that means anything....

Ive rang bailey just mate cheers.

You do connect the bottom breather pipe back into the metering head. He said i may have an air leak where the grommet is going into the metering head so i will check this later

i have a bailey breather, i've blocked the pipe that goes into the metering head, the one that would have gone into the metering head from the pot now goes under the car into atmosphere but i think for polution laws your not really supposed to do this, thats maybe why mr bailey advissed against it. but either way it shouldn't cause any running problems so i'd check all pipes are secure and undamaged.

hope you get it sorted.

I disconnected the cold start valve and so far not had any hesitating like before

james_birch

bring on winter!.......dont know why ya cold start valve would start playing up aftre ya fit a breather tho

Nice_aRSe

Because the breather is making things flow easier and the intake plenum no longer receiving vacuum from the standard breathing system.

Or summat like that all i know is its fine now and thats all that matters

Car will still start in winter without it anyway, just need to pump the accelerator a bit first
