my mates fiesta does this as well.
i was trying to work it out. but he didnt even nitice it was running for about 3 seconnds after he gets out the car.

its only an old h reg 1ltr. and he dont care about it.
i said "u not gonna get that sorted" he said "what".

some people just dont love cars do they. how strange they r

 

A badly coked up head creates hot spots in the combustion chamber and causes any fuel drawn into the cylinder, after the ignition is turned off, to be ignited.

 

ah yeah, I think I remember someone mentioning that to me before, so basically the head needs a good clean !

 

Pour redex down the spark plug holes, leave for a few hours. with a cloth over the holes, wind the engine over to expell the excess.

Then take the car for a good thrash!!! It will smoke like fook untill the redex and carbon are burnt off.

I think there is better instructions on the bottle.

Just noticed - this is my 1000th post!!

 

my shitty nova that i only use to keep my NCB going does this.

its like smokeys car in Friday when you try and turn the fucker off
