Hello! Ford Sierra with 2.0 pinto with weber carb, problem is, that now at winter car starts and runs fine, if I press the gas strongly then the idle servo moves all the way out and car idle rpms are really high, like 3 to 4k. Choke is working fine. When I re-start the car, servo moves back in on it...

Sprayed, detected no leaks. Don't know model of weber, but I will put up a video, maybe someone can tell me. Could be solenoid isue, how could I check it? Valve clearence has not been checked, I will need a special tool for that, but I found a new valve cover gasket in garage, so I am ready to take ...

UPDATE: Pluged brake air hose, no result. So thats out of question. Looks like I will need to undo air manifold to check gasket. But with starter fluid I found no leaks Could valve regulating help? Dont know if this is the right term for that

Weather is real bad, went to car, started it, running rough, opened hood (Under shelter, big enough for car, Im still wet :lol: ) Sprayed some starting fluid, I think its the same as wd40 for this job? Due to it runing rough did not find any leaks, for a test sprayed a bit in air intake, yeah rpm ju...

Hello, need some help with car trouble. Got a MK2 Sierra, changed engine from pinto to EFI pinto, that I converted back to carb. It was running fine, but suddenly its running rough while idle. Like pulsing a bit. On higher rpm works good. But when I press the clutch and start to brake engine stalls,...

Thanks everyone for help, worked whole day on it, but in the end GOT IT RUNNING
Ended up being the following:
*electronic dizzy amp incorrectly wired
*fuel pressure regulator failed
*a bit out timing.

Now got a bunch of other bits to play with, hope to deal with this soon.

I think I found my problem- ignition amp is on only with starter, though I fixed it, but something went wrong. So my question to you is: If I plug my dizzy and spin it with hands, should the main wire spark? [If Ignition on] Because it sparks when starter is turning, trying to test if I have ignitio...

Now thinking about this I come to conclusion that it might be: *Bad ground on engine *Not enough fuel after initial start What are your thoughts? One more thing, I have to refill my cooling liquid now, not much like a glass, is it normal? [Engine was empty, got it filed initially, now like 3 times a...

Ok, rewire spark, so its on with +12fom battery but still the same, engine only works for few secs. I think I got the timing about right now, but the issue remains, that it only works for few secs after I release starter, could this be fuel related? Like not enough fuel is getting to car so it dies?

UPDATE: Been working on this for like 4 hours now, got it to start for few seconds, like, I release starter motor works few secs but if starter is spinning engine works great, suspecting that I have some electronics wrong, like spark is only with starter, so gonna try rewire it now... :headscratch: ...

Can't seem to find a scribed line.. Dizzy looks like this:

And yes, I got fuelpump+push rod, fuel is getting to carbs +I have my old engines pressure adjuster on, no there should be correct pressure to carb.

is the order - 1342 ? If so then yes.
How can i check 180deg?
one thing I can add, is that timing belt is on correct(timing marks lined up) But maybe distributor is off, because I cant seem to find right spot where it should align on EFI dizzy.

Hi guys, unable to solve my mystical problem with EFI Pinto decided to convert it to carb. Had Weber carb with intake, got the right gasket, bolted it on, and got the mechanical fuel pump. But the thing is, cant seem to get it running.. I have: weber carb(with servo I guess but it is not connected t...

Guys, any ideas?

Hello, I'm new here.. Got a 1987 Ford Sierra with carbs, engine died so I went for a Pinto EFI, got the engine in all wired up, but the strange thing is that I have no spark. There is spark only when I disconnect my ECU and the spark amplifier [6/7pin little black box mounted to a heatsink] runs alo...
