Hi folks,

My escort seems a bit kangarooish when off the throttle and driving it.

I have only noticed this problem since i replaced the sump, it may have done it before but i only noticed it the day after i did the sump.

Could removing the sump cause these problems, if its not sealing correctly letting in air???
The sump is dry as a bone now and has no oil leaks.

Any help greatfully received, im finding it very annoying

Thanks

James

 

fitting a sump would not cause this , if it was not fitted corectly it would leak oil nothing more.

 

Cheers dave,

I appreciate that mate.

I will lok into other things

 

Sorry Dave, but thats not quite right...

Bosch KE utilises a closed loop crankcase vent system and constantly draws air from within the crankcase / breathers. Think what happens if you remove the filler cap...

Maybe you had a leak before and now youve fixed it the engine is running excessively rich... get her to a pro for checking over is best advice i can give if shes deffo airtight now.
