you guys with the Hunting idle when warm should check the MAP sensor, My eb was doing the same thing i had checked everything else changed the MAP and it was a little better. Check the vacume line going to it and it had rubbed through so hence not getting any vacume at idle so the MAP is telling the computer the engine is at throttle so giving the car more fuel. its ok when cold because the idle speed control (isc) is open to give the car more revs to warm it up so the air fuel ratio is closer to being correct. This only fixed the car temporarely because it had run so rich for to long and fkd the motor.

MAP sensor was replaced 2 months ago, will check it was done properly

Its not a vacuum leak on the intake nor is the cat blocked. did you clean the TB? That was the first thing i did as it cost nothing to do. Im still leaning towards an either blocked or sticking fuel reg. I will change it when i get a chance. The injectors are just a tap that opens and closes and the amount of fuel flow depends on the pressure (hence the fuel reg) Will keep you guys posted when i change it. Will be p****d if thats all it was all along ! |

Will be p****d if thats all it was all along ! got my new isc from fga today (pimp the sponcers) and its idling at the propper speeds now. still has the hesitation first thing in the morning. thinking it could be an injector leaking to the cylinder or something overnight. but i think i may be very wrong

ford went back on their word and wanted to charge me $120 just to look at it!!!!!
i'm really p****d about it and i let the service manager know. so i guess i gotta deal with it until i have some $$$ (good luck, i'm an apprentice chef with a 14month old.) i't now almost stalling most times when i pull into carparks and fighting the brakes like no tomorrow. i know it's an 'old' car but..... NOT HAPPY FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a total letdown, everyone tells me theyre great cars... i got a lemon.

got my service manual. looked at all the sensors related to fuel and intake, all appeared to be good. still same problem
took it for a service at Mid Coast Ford for a service. they told me they fixed it but wouldnt tell me how. trade secret i guess. i assume they hooked it up to a computer. any ideas??? they didnt charge me for any parts so i guess it was in the tuning. i may go and pester the service manager for more info but i doubt he'll give anything away.

And by the way, there is no 'tune' for eseries computers, unless your running plug-in chip |

how much did they charge?
maybe it was a simple thing like a vacuum hose unplugged, but wouldnt justify the price they charged so they wont tell you what it was

$129 for service including oil and plugs i told em bout my problem and they said they had fixed it. vac hose sounds likely. oh and they forgot to remove the spanner icon from the dash so i had to do it

to remove it turn the key to "on" and hold the trip button down for 9-11 seconds depending on wheather u drive an au1 or ef/el and it should beep and disapear. i cant remember which one is which. if after that long it doesn't go away try again and release it after that time to reset it. hope that helps the search engine is your friend.
