stuartadair Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello all P reg Fiesta 1.25. Just changed the engine. Got the new one running tonight and it sounds really nice but the idle speed is too low. The engine sounds sweet on a little throttle but too low when you release the throttle. It got too dark to spend too much time on it tonight so I thought I'd come back and ask the experts where I should check next. Thanks in advance Stu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pompey Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Not sure if the fiesta has 1, but if it does clean the maf that might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hula89 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 You need to sort the timing I think. (something along those lines) Take it to a garage because if you get it wrong you'll kill the fuel economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 sounds like a vacuum leak to me. check your gaskets / seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartadair Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks Orcomma I'll check the pipes out. Hula89 was that a serious reply <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartadair Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sorted now. One of the vacuum pipes on the throttle housing had a blanking plug on and on the new engine I'd missed this off. Running sweet now, but has an overheating issue which is the subject of a new post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hula89 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks Orcomma I'll check the pipes out. Hula89 was that a serious reply <_< It was a serious reply one of my mates had the mk6 1.25 and his was like this and it was becuase the previous owner had messed with the timing or something.

stuartadair Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yeh but even if it was a timing issue you wouldnt take it to a garage to sort. Get your hands dirty and do it yourself :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
