Hello hope someone can help,
I have a 1.6 zetec turbo (k+n air filter/dump valve,ss exhaust) the car will start and tick over fine but when you go to set of it tries to stall before launching into life (sometimes does it whilst driving car will hold back then go) i've replaced fule pump,plugs and leads and used cleaner to de-carb inlet manifold but no joy..anybody got any idea,if i folow haynes manual its saying vaccum leak at inlet manifold? thanks in advance

so have u turbo'd an SI 16v lump then? [ERRR] power is it putting out?

[chumkila]

CPS? TPS? sounds like a Zetec sensor problem.

[zetecrs]

When you say sensor problem it could take me down many routes (theres that many sensors i've got them coming out of my ears haha) i was thinking of changing all the sensors but that could be costly,do you know of any good performance tuners within south yorkshire area that would take a look?...
As for bhp i've no idea but its pretty quick,only running 7psi but stil good fun...thanks

[Phil Si]

south yorkshire...?
where u from

[excursionv2]

Is this something you've just bundled together or was it working fine until this point?

[zetecrs]

I'm in Rotherham but any good tuners you know of im willing to travel (not too far if possible) the car was runing fine but as just started doing this..i alterd CO2 (turned it above legal limit) and it worked fine for a bit then went wrong again..any ideas would be welcome as too what is causing this?

[Phil Si]

rotherham? wtf

what does ya car look like? proably seen it driving about....

not the one with the mitchy sticker kit is it?....

i used to have the same problem as you got, but i found out that last time i have changed the exhoust to a strait pipe i have taken off the lambda sensor in the exhoust, and the same problem you have was in mine too.

so i found that i have to plug agian the lambda sensor and then it rans fine.

1.6L Zetec Turbo Converion on the way

[excursionv2]

The same thing happened on mine when I forgot some of the injectors. easily done.

[excursionv2]

zetecrs - you say you altered co - so I take it you're not on zetec management anymore.

Try the throttle position sensor and the speed sensor on the gearbox

[zetecrs]

Pilot stickers thats the one but I'm planning on complete respray soon so if you know of any good body shops let me know?... the exhaust sensor i thought that myself but hey im going to strip it and re-build and lower compression for more poewr so hopefully once its re-built it will be fine (fingers crossed) thanks for the advice everyone...

[fezza turbo]

alrite mate i've seen you about too are you from kimberworth?

[zetecrs]

haha hope your not stalking me now LOL...

[fezza turbo]

not all mate its just not hard too miss your car is it

[Phil Si]

lol south yorkshire crew in da house

[crazy dave]

plastic elbow joining the fuel pump outlet to the outlet pipe (inside the tank) if you altered the co by turning up the fuel pressure its more than likely ging to be this. and yes its a nightmare job

[Phil Si]

did u do teh engine work yourself mate?
what spec is it running etc?

has it always had this problem since the conversion?

[zetecrs]

Do the engine work myself are you mad,i can't even change a spark plug without causing a problem hahaha LOL... A place in doncaster (RS Center) did all work and its going back for some pampering..lower compression boost upgrade and final going to sort out the stuttering problem (i can't wait) I will be sure to post a note on this site when its repaired with exact figures as im not sure what bhp shes running at moment...

[Phil Si]

have u had head work done and changed the valves?

[zetecrs]

Yep everythings been altered but like i say its going to be striped down and rebuilt (sort of) so i should find the problem through trial and error (i hope)

[DaveZetec]

Is yours the fezzy with the michelin pilot stuff on it?

[zetecrs]

Yep thats me but im thinking on having a change this year just can't make my mind up!
