Yb dies when warm
Hi all,i have a 2wd cosworth engine in an old escort and its developed a problem. After half an hour or so driving it,it starts to misfire to the point that i have to pull over as it cuts all 4 cylinders and pops and bangs as soon as i try to rev it. Turn it off and after 10 mins its fine. Ive changed coolant temp sensor and checked gaps on crank and phase. Its on l6 ecu running stg 3. I tested pump voltage today and its at 11.3v. But when i rev it and its missing,it bangs and flames out exhaust. Anyone any idea?

Check the earths, then check all of the loom

What do i need to be looking for with the loom? I cant see any obvious breaks. I did probably 25 miles in it today before it started. Turned it off,waited 10 mins then drove home where it started again

I had a fault with my cossie. I could do a steady 50/60 mph but as soon as I go into town traffic my cossie would start misfiring.
I replaced the water temp sensor and it cured my fault.

That was my first thought so i changed it. Thought it was cured until it started again on sunday. Guess the new sensor could be faulty. Would charge air sensor affect it like this as not changed this
