Title: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 1st, 2007, 12:52am Hi all, dogma here, if you have read my recent posts you will hope fully understand what im talking about. Iv checked the cat, all seems ok, put a low milage set of injectors in with a much better idle and general running, new plugs and leads, but, after fitting the jet i found that the problem which i can only describe as either flooding or no firing on all cylinders is still occuring but only after sloing down to a near stop or actually pulling away from stop, the revs go up and stop, go up a bit more and stop, then it suddenly clears and woosh, off it goes. Does anyone know what can cause this, iv got a new dizzy and rota arm on its way to me also, any ideas would be great many thanks jim :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by jonnycab on Apr 1st, 2007, 1:43am Didn't someone suggest replacing the fuel rail pressure regulator (FRPR) in one of your other posts... :-/ Have you considered this ?..........as alot of the problems you have maybe due to a fuel delivery problem. A new frpr may sort it, but another consideration might be the fuel pump :-/ Anyway...hope you get it sorted ;) |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 1st, 2007, 3:58am Hi mate, thanks for the advice, think a scan is the only thing now as a new FPR is around 110 pound, bit expencive to by on a whim it could be the problem,many thanks tho |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by jonnycab on Apr 1st, 2007, 12:52pm Are you sure of the price ?.....I only paid £42 for a new 2.3 fpr from FMD :) But as you say....it probably is worth getting it scanned, as trying to solve the problem by replacing various parts & finding that the problem still exists can be a waste of time & money ;) |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 1st, 2007, 1:26pm My thought exactly mate, i got that price fromthe ford discount site, i thought it was a bit much, but even what you paid is a lot really when you look at what the FPR actuall is, the smaller things are the more expensive lol |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by jonnycab on Apr 1st, 2007, 9:23pm Jim....does it still have the pipe attached or has it been cut off ? :) |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 3rd, 2007, 11:38pm It only has the metal pipes for the fuel line and the vacum pipe, is that ok |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by jonnycab on Apr 4th, 2007, 12:38am Sorry Jim...It's probably okay ;) It's only the 2.0 & 2.3 fpr that is useless without the return pipe still attached, as it's heat shrunk on to prevent petrol spillage...(I've seen them for sale on Ebay with the pipe cut off ::)). The 2.9 (I think) is different, so you should be okay ;) Hope it sorts your problems :) |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 5th, 2007, 8:40pm Hi mate, i think the FPR for the 2.9 has a fuel line feed tube and a vacum feed tube which it still has, not had a chance yet to fit it but hopefully will make a difference, will report back lol jim |

Title: Re: Flooding or not firing on take off Post by dogma on Apr 8th, 2007, 1:00am Hi all, well fitting the new FPR didnt go to plan, basicall i cant get the old one off, its stuck fast and due to it being the fuel line and not looking very strong i decided to leave it, if anyone has any idea on how to remove without causing any damage, id love to hear from you many thanks jim ::) |
