theres a how to on ford power iirc

Mine was stalling when i was driving it due to the vss not being connected
Have you checked all the hoses for an air leak, as this can cause it to run rough due to unmetered air getting in.
i found two small pipe stubs on the side of the throttle that needed blanking off
if its stalling at idle then check all the connections to the iscv and hoses

Hiya Tony, I have the Vss hooked up but it's not been driven yet to get a signal!-just fine when cold and as it warms up slows down and eventually cuts out,I did check all the vac connections and already blanked off the t/body ones.There is the servo take off,one at the rear of the Plenum to the Auto'box-is there any I'm missing?

[Luke]

one at the front right i think, also one underneith that goes to the n/s head, what did you do with the pipe from the o/s head to the air box

[Guy88]

does it run if you hold the throttle open a touch

The VSS is only used on over run, and without it it can just die at a junction

[OxtonyxO]

what have you done with the hole and the small pipe at the rear of the plenum?


you can see the hole and the blanking pipe in the pic

does it run ok when cold?
does it rev alright?

it sounds like a problem with the idle control valve IF there is no air leaks
this can be overiden if need be

Yes,the 300zx I had was the same,take off Battery for half an hour and clear the ECU!
I'll check for leaks tomorrow when I have fitted the exhaust back on!-could be the problem,we'll see!

sorry did not know that!!

Needs to be driven to re learn the ecu, if I remember right, start up hold a 1000rpm for a min then hold a 2000 rpm for a min then drive at least 5 miles mixed driving.

Mixture is none adjustable as is done by lambas/ecu

[mantav8]

looks like the idle is sorted!-made up a new section of exhaust as the other was blowing,pulled the KAM fuse and run it up as above.even managed a trip round the block and found the speedo inop!!(posted another thread on this)
Anyways,didn't get into fourth but changes are smooth,seems to do what it's suppoed to!
OH!-and fitted this today,crappy thing is about 600rpm out!

Back together!


Things to do-try and squeeze a leccy fan in!-don't think I need it here but will be peace of mind in Spain!-And sort the speedo!
