Hey guys, hoping one of you could help me out here. I've just finished changing over engines and put a EL Tickford engine out of a Fairmont Ghia in to my EL Futura.
It will idle though as soon as i apply pressure to the accelerator it just stalls. So little power that even when idling it won't go up over the small bump to go out my garage  . Idle is at about 500rpmAny ideas on what it could be? Leads are new, distributor is new, new plugs, new oxygen sensor, new air inlet temp sensor, new coil, checked the stepper valve against one i know works well. Behaves the same on either petrol or gas. Last edited by ryanpatrick42 on Mon Jun 10, 2013 3:00 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

reset your base idle speed, 500 seems too low.
does it idle rough?

check all your vacuum lines, make sure the intake manifold bolts are tight.
