dtmwelburn Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hiya im wondering if anyone can help ive recently replaced a full set of pistons in a 1997 r reg fiesta 1400zetec-s engine and when ive put it back together the only way i can get the engine to tick over (be it slightly lumpy) is to have the airflow meter unplugged, initially i assumed the obvious a dodgy meter but then ive replaced it twice with used ones off decent cars that run and none of it works the engine just cuts out after a few seconds, its baffled me completely please help me!!!

dtmwelburn Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 how did it run other wise will it rev up and run at fast idle? Ive taken the idle control valve off and cleaned it with brake cleaner and the car ran ok at fast idle i took it on a drive over 5 or 6 miles and it drove fine, its so confusing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
