Ok, my mate & I have fitted a 1800 16v efi enigne (out of L reg fiesta xr2i) into his H reg escort van. Got all the ECU wired up etc.
Now, we noticed that the fuel rail & inlet manifold were knackered (think they had been dropped) & we swapped them for parts off a 1600 escort engine. We also don't have the original air flow sensor & have salvaged on off a 1600.
The engine seems to run ok, but when you accelerate hard it bogs down real bad as if it was running on 2 cylinders or something. I thought it might not be fueling properly due to the injectors from the 1600 so I swapped them for the original 1800 injectors but this doesn't seem to make much difference. We've tried disconnecting the air flow sensor & it seems to run a little better without it

Any ideas?

You will need the 1800 MAF and lambda sensor. TPS can be from any Zetec but must be in good nick - try a different one. Plus, you will need the MAP sensor from a Zetec if you don't have that.

Cheers for that!

By the way, probs sound a bit stupid now but whats MAP & TPS stand for?

Thanks again!

MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure
TPS = Throttle Position Sensor

what ECU is it running?

Get me the part number and ill see if its the right one

Cheers mate, i'll get the number tommorrow cos i'm at work at the mo.

What's Maniford Absolute Pressure? it's not those 4 pipes that come out of the top of the exhaust manifold is it because we cut those off & put bolts in the holes....

Ignore what I said about a MAP - the Zetecs never used them as they had a MAF instead. You will need the bulkhead-mounted E-DIS module and ECU from an 1800, plus the 1800 MAF (mass air flow) and lambda sensors.

Those 4 pipes are the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system and if you can undo the nuts you can buy blanking nuts from Ford for a few pence which will help to free up some more power from the engine.
