escort rs turbo over fuelling
ive got a 89 rs turbo, its had loads of problems running lately, it was running fine last sunday afternoon, then decided to start misifring and then cut out, the fuel pump relay had some dodgy wiring and the relay ws burnt out so got it fixed along with a new rely straight from ford, but he problem still exists. The relay works fine the fuel pump primes and the car turns over, nearly starts then doesnt, you can smell fuel and the spark plugs are full of carbon. any suggestions before i starts replecing things???

when it first started happening the car was hot because it had been running, but ever since its been cold, it does get going sometimes if you pump the accelerator but only for a second
thanks for the reply

remove the fuel pump relay, bridge it so the pump runs constantly and press the flap, and see if you get fuel spraying then - watch your eyes tho

then the metering head is fine.
I can only assume you have an air leak somewhere then, if fuel doesnt spray when you crank the engine by hand...?
