help cossie problem
A m8 of mine has a sierra cosworth 4x4 and we have made it ready for mot its std chip and inj the problem is the can rev fine on standstill but when we try to drive the car it constandly cut out and can`t drive
we have checked the TPS but its ok could this be wrong fuel pressure or maybe one of the sensors ??

sounds like the map sensor, as when you rev on standstill no boost as soon as you drive no fuel for boost and cuts out

i had a dog and his name was "BINGO"
it wont run very well if at all, on a 3 bar if its got a standard chip, the voltages are wrong at different boost/vaccum levels
