Sorry jaiscossie for taking your post the wrong way
I been on the RSOC website for 20 years and had my 3 door since 1987 but only just joined Passion Ford , i am surprised by the number of people wanting to break a cossie for parts, there not difficult to work on and whatever problem you have there is always one of us who have had the same trouble and know how to fix it .

1. Go out and bum some random minger to relieve the anger!
2. Find out if it's ignition cutting out or whether it just doesn't get enough fuel. If it's fuel starvation it will get worse the more you depress the go-pedal! Could be fuel filter or a pump related problem then. Ignition problems mostly occure at low rpms and high boost.
I'm not sure about the Cossie WeberMarelli stuff but on normal Fords of that age (EECIV) the MAP sensors occasionally packed up with similar symptoms. If you unplugged it, the ECU would run the engine from the other sensors (TPS, CPS). Not sure if this works on a Cossie and how prone to fail the MAP sensors are. The symptoms would be similar though
PS: I've only spent about 3 weeks in the UK in all my life but I've already seen more Scoobies there than I have in the other 25 years in Germany...

arr reet nice one dude
That's what you get for learning english on Passionford. Mind you, the first day in the "real" england was quite hard, though. Thank god I found out that "can i bum you" is not an appropriate greeting before I approached that female border agency officer at Stansted Airport...
i asked a bird on sat if she'd like some of my donner kebab and could i rub my face in her titsi wound up with half the kebab down the front of me and a pissed off blond laughing at me
still didnt let me rub my face in her tits the bitch
yeah ill try that aswell,been meaning to put one on it for ages.

Az you have been told so many times to get a map sensor as yours is not working at all!

would it not be worth while just phoning a specialist and finding a mate with a trailer and just taking the blow and paying for it to get sorted instead of just messing about with it spending money on things that arent fixing the problem?

With reading this kosman i'd be checking the connectors on these wires and cleaning the pins and applying a little bit of vasoline, also check for breaks in the wires can get a bit brittle the age they are.

this is my mate who has sorted my cossys running problem,ive got a map sensor coming and we been at it all day,we checked everything couldnt find the problem
so i threw the towel in and told him fuck it,ill park it up again,he drove it back and it conked 3times,he was convinced it was a spark problem,grabbed the coil lead and straightened it while i cranked it and it fired up! it died as soon as he bent the coil lead again,so matt lewis will be getting a call on tuesday im so happy its sorted,shit will be at fordfair
thanks for all the help and suggestions lads

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Why would smashing 2 diffs make me feel better, but it would be very interesting how you done it unless your running 600 bhp.
And why you want to scrap a cosworth becuse it has a small problem like you have, take it to someone who knows what their doing and they would fix it in half a hour.
How did you smash 2 diffs if it only runs for 2 minutes.
