Even Jefferson ford didn't have any bolts in stock :/
The ftg joint had them though, and for much cheaper too  Got 12 bolts for just under $10, Jefferson were asking $3.40 a bolt. Also got my fuel rail and intake gasket. Fuel rail was $190, so hopefully I was right with the ba/f fuel rail not fitting,

$3.40 per bolt is a ripoff!

When I was working in the automotive industry more money was being made from the selling of spare parts and accessories than there was from selling the bloody cars! I imagine it will always be the same.

Checked all wiring, it was all alright. Then unplugged the mass sensor, it ran 90% better. Probably why the other guys still ran the BA/F mass sensor Ahh well, the more you know. I got the FG sensor & wiring for free anyway

Did you also try drilling a small hole into the TB Butterfly? Apparently that fixes idle problems too.

I did note that, that's going to be the last thing I do. I'm just going to make sure that my wiring for the mass sensor is 100%, i MAY have used crimp connectors initially
And it's possibly screwing with the resistances.

Do you know what size hole it is though? Don't want to go too big. If you don't know, i'll ask the guy that did that ef/l wagon 'MKII'

Sent you a reply. So everyone knows I drilled a 3.0mm hole in the throttle body because it wouldn't Idle when it warmed up and to stop it hunting. I had also used the FG injectors but will be using BA ones when I install the manifold in my BA XR.
