escort mk5 xr3i it was now escort mk5 efi rs turbo with t3 and ofac loom&ecu&map/sensor strait throuh exhaust , xr3i gearbox
problem is the car runs on idle and slow throttle as i hit the throttle fast even at a distance of 2mm ish it cuts all engine power as soon as you lift of the throttle all revs are as usal
ive checked and fitted new well all the sensors,coil,fuel rail loom,two types of loom and ecu ofac and ofab with matching map/sensors...
none of this has solved the problem any more ideas guys n girls

gup 17-09-2009 09:42 PM

gap them to 1.0mm i think thats what they recommend
but on my mates highj boost one we gapped them to .8 as it kept on blowing the spark out

benjaminsarmy 17-09-2009 09:43 PM

a piece of paper was in the plug box that i bought sayng regaped to 1.65 but this issue still acurd before these plugs were fitted http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/s...nscarprobs.flv

babscossie 17-09-2009 09:46 PM

does it totally cut out when you come on boost?

gup 17-09-2009 09:47 PM

yes fella why

gup 17-09-2009 09:49 PM

try the gap setting i said fella and see if it helps also try and knock the boost down to about 2/3 psi as you may be hitting the boost cut

XRT_si 17-09-2009 10:18 PM

Strange one mate, as I say mine done similar when it was on the OFAC loom and OFAB ECU but you tried that?

Agree with above, if your about tomorrow morning I can turn the boost down for you if it will make a difference if that doesnt work I agree, take it to Jano.

enzo_dj 17-09-2009 10:19 PM

that could be the problem bro as when the boost kicks in its not ignighting the fuel air mixture dus making it cut out

benjaminsarmy 17-09-2009 10:21 PM
