psmk2 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 hi, i have a mk2 escort 1.6 ghia and for some reason it wont idle without a bit choke . the engine runs sweet on the run but as soon as i stop it cuts out, i have just replaced the cylinder head but i had this problem before i started the job? even if i let it idle with a bit choke it runs great but as soon as i push the choke in the car stalls any ideas what it could be? peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 it sounds like a problem with the mixture or the slow idle settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr-performance Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi pete, clean idle jets in top of carb they used to be prone to picking up a bit of muck and blocking hence wont idle.. easy to do though.. steve www.sr-performance.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
