Have you tryed a re learn on the tps. Hand brake on warm engine turn engine off.

Push foot flat to the floor turn ignition on (dont start) hold for 60 sec.

Release pedal and dont touch.

Start engine put in drive and idle for 60 seconds.

Turn off engine while still in gear place in park and restart engine.

Remember 2.5 to 3 psi max fuel pressure for weber or delorto need to do that before tuning otherwise you will never get the idle mixtures to stay consistant

Looks to be a Goss universial (was on the car when I bought it) which is meant to flow up to 110L per hour, it's mounted in the engine bay, about a metre of 8 mm fuel line to the carb. 

 

I'm going to throw on a new fuel filter to eliminate something cheap and then will take a look at the needle after that.

 

cheers guys.

try moving the pump to the back most electric pumps are a push pump so they are designed for pressure not vacuum had the same on a customers hq with 350 run out of fuel at full throttle moved the pump to the back solved

I had the same issue going up the kaimai ranges on my 1600 with twin 40s uprated to 2.5mm needle and seat also had a restriction in the brass fittings i used upgraded them and its all good.

What pump are you using and where is it located 

small amount of fiddling with the carbs and its alive

escort sport wheels with 7 inch rear 6 1/2 inch front thinking of doing some cortina offset ones too so i can go 7.5 to 8 inch in the rear wont get much more on the front

progress again

engine almost ready to fire up this weekend i hope. I have cranked it over and it has has oil pressure and all compressions sound fine . All i need is some ht leads top radiator hose and bit of wiring and fingers crossed its a good one.

modified the cheap shit coby extractors as they hit the floor changed from 4-1 to 4-2-1 not fussed on power loss/gain as i will attemps my own set later down the track.

also rebiult the entire exhhaust system as i was not happy with the addition of handbrake cables.

mission to get in had to drop the crossmember for the sump to clear

ok few more bits done the enigine is in yay

have you tried to get flash codes out of it ? is it rich or lean ? i would be suspecting airflow meter- map sensor issue or vacume leak as you idle issues indicate an air leak

have you still have any of the old alternators i can take a look for you i got a test bench and shit at work

continuous duty solenoid would be a better answer way more durable than a relay

have you checked the ign and sense wires are around the correct way also does the draw dissapear when you unplug the alt leaving the main terminal on. 

1300/1600? Low/high compression? 

or a supercharger with a burst plate:)

gates

sump and pickup finished gates and baffles should work good also added future turbo drain plug

In short no but can be made to work. The escort has rack and pinion steering and is mounted forward of the crossmember  and cortina has steering box on the rear.

You can fit a complete escort crossmember  with a few modifications but will need to change steering column brake lines engine sump adjustable bottom arms and sway bar so bit of a ,major better off finding a full mk2 cortina disc brake front they are a bit hard to get but will cost you less in the end.

(sorry thought you were upgrading from drums to discs so as above)

reversed 4age sump all tigged up as looks mean now for baffles and gates she be mint hold 5 litres of oil too  doing the leak test overnight only 2 pinholes by the looks easy fix

got my sump back from a mate who tigged it up 4 me came up mint now to make the baffles and gates and engine in time
