Hey guys,
Went to start the Falcon up yesterday (nearly didn't), thought it was idling a little rough. Started to drive off and it farted like a milo-tin Civic! Disconnected the plugs one by one but couldn't figure out which ones were playing up, so I'm going to get new leads & plugs for it. A few questions though; ? Would idling in traffic cause the extractors to melt the leads? ? The hydraulic lifters make a racket- would this have contributed to it? ? I took it to 200 the previous night (I know, stupid :O), and I remember 4th gear only went to 4k or so then wouldn't go any further. Since I'd never been to 200 in it I thought it was normal and went to 5th, and it seemed to take longer getting there. ? Anyone know if indexing the plugs works? The extractors worry me a little, they get pretty damn hot and the previous owner said it melted the clutch cable before they were shielded. Anyone with similar heat issues? Cheers Last edited by Biggoggs; 26-04-2005 at 02:51 PM. |

vaccum leak to the MAP sensor is what I would be checking.
