It's all gone 'Pete Tong'
Discussion
Went out last night and car seemed ok.Then found the idle irratic.Dropping low enough to knock the charging off.Went to put some Optimax in,as wondering if the fuel gauge was reading right.£20 later and tank full so yes.Wouldnt start in the forecourt very well,seemed to go well enough,but on the cruise felt like it was trying to hold back.Put car in the garage and today it would hardly run.Very rich out the exhaust and unable to run.What's up guys?.The Haynes Granada manual tells me not a lot.My old bible is not that in depth and the Ford garage said could be lots of things.Just give me something to look for.The car ran perfectly on Sunday.Cheers all
JSG,cheers for the reply.I decided that the throttle pot,since always a problem with the cars,I bought a new one.Fitted it this evening and......VROOOOOM.Can't believe such a pi$$y piece of plastic could cause such maladies.The engine runs smoother at tickover and all the previous problems have disappeared.I celebrated by put the old one on the workbenck and wielding the biggest hammer I own blew it to oblivion!!!!!!
