Unusual speedo

[330rwd]

Hi to you all and hope you can answer my question.

I have a 330 std roof 125 van which so far has had 2 camchain adjusters, 2 complete heads, 1 camchain and now a flywheel and clutch , re calibrated deisel pump and a few other minor things:(

when sat stationary and you rev the van my speedo seems to act as a revcounter, well it moves round to about 20mph and back, Is this normal or does something else need fixing

Thanks for any replys

Nice spec van

But this doesn't sound normal so will need fixing
But at least it's not urgent

Unusual van i have one myself, s.w.b. flat top rear wheel drive 2.4 but 90ps, needs a yb motor putting in and a cocky bit of paint and wheels

[madmark]

oh yes geoff somebody has to doo one mate that would be the bizz

[Guy88]

give me a van and engine and il do it

[Nighthawk]

A poor earth can cause this

disconnect the battery and remove the earth lead from the floor

clean up the floor, bolt and both ends of the lead.

remove the earth lead from the starter motor to the chassis rail, clean up the bolts and their contact points and the lead terminals

refit and try it.

It might be a dumb question But what exactly is a YB Motor Is it a Yank engine 5.7 L

Auto

[transitgeoff]

cossie 4 cylinder, turbo flying machine

[AndyG]

So it's not what Guy88, OxtonyxO, and others are fitting to their vans

Wouldn't this be easier to fit As it's only a 4 pot job

[transitgeoff]

prolly easier, but much more expensive and loads and loads more power

[AndyG]

So what car/s did Ford put these in

[transitgeoff]

sierra and escort cosworths the quickans, Granada was for oap"s that wanted to think they were "avin it"

[AndyG]

The usual Ford thing
You'd think they'd put the more powerful motor in the heavier/larger car
