Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Ok started her up from cold… ok, waited a bit till she warmed up a tad, ran a little rough but then nipped the throttle and she ran at 650 no problem. I didn’t have time to take her out . But a fella I know has found an old code reader ( mechanics / garage item) from the 90s that actually reads and ...

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Ok so I tried the gunson tester again. TBPH I couldn’t really deduce what the readings were. (Probably the user..) First thing I did was get PTFE and wrapped round the insert plug that the vacuum outlet pipe to servo sits. Then plugged it back in. No change at all. Sometimes even when hot she blips ...

Re: insurance

After my experience with Adrian flux customer service, where I was simply cut off by the girl who I’d been speaking to, after waiting 45 minutes for someone to pick up, I can honestly say I would never recommend them ever. And all I wanted was track day cover for one day, which they said they offere...

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

I had a look at the connections and both ends of the vacuum pipe look ok. The one connected to the manifold was loose but when twisted or even pulled out a little, no change in revs. The connection at manifold end seemed like it was spring loaded so I didn’t pull it right off. I bought a gunson 4152...

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Thanks mate. So I switch engine off, apply brake pedal, if it’s normal a couple of pumps it should still have vacuum, but if it’s hard then it’s lost vacuum, right?

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Hi SCP440 thanks for that! I did reset the ISCV in a different way to that, using John Harrison’s guide from the Ford dealer workshop manual and Tickover is actually fine. The suspicion is (considering only seems to happen when braking to a stop) rather pointing to the servo or the lambdas I guess n...

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Ah I see - much appreciated!!
So I guess I have to get the servo out, and check inside for the diaphragm and check for splits? Is the non return valve easy to get to and replace?
Or is it more economical to replace the servo totally?

Re: Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Does this point to the brake servo as the culprit? I just checked the hose to it and it seemed ok. Does it just have the one hose? The crank case hose just runs into the cone filter, so it’s pre-MAF … not sure what it could be…😮

Engine stalls cuts out when coming to a stop

Every now and then when I come to slow down to a stop the revs go down to below 500 then often just quickly cut out. I’ve replaced ISCV, ATCS, MAF, plugs, coil pack, leads, reset idle…. Still does it. Anyone else had a similar issue? BTW she’s got a cossie BOB 24v fitted from the Scorpio.. Cheers :b...

Re: Cluster regulator

The club also do a replacement. You have to solder the connectors on to the circuit board though. I did it and seems fine.

Re: Alcohol in fuel

After that toffy nosed plonker disrupted the fuel supply in 2021 by adding imported ethanol into our refineries by unilateral decision, the whole country went to chaos. He then had the audacity to blame tanker drivers. Ethanol is hydroscopic, it absorbs water in the atmosphere and in the tank. It’s ...

Re: Temp and fuel gauge annoyance

I took apart the wiring. (I’d already replaced the regulator with a club one) Cleaned it up. Installed a new sensor (white collar). Re checked voltage. 5.01…ran up to temp and luckily was all fine. Touch wood, after dismantling the hoses and cleaning in and outlets with a bottle brush, she didn’t bu...
