When Under The Bonnect

[205johnnyxsi 0]

when im under the bonnet on my 1.6 and give a little rev sounds like a piston, tapping or h.t leads clicking, just a general question as i wont sure, does anyone no what the limite is on the 1,600cc engine, cus mines going round to 7,000rpm and its near enought standard.

 

 

 

another question, rear brake pipes on 309 easy job or not ??? to change them, and what do i need to do..

 

 

 

just one more and this on my little run about fiesta pop plus 1.1, the engine keeps stalling warm n cold keep the choke out and its fine well jerky, could it be my fuel pump ????

 

 

thanks johnny

it maybe the injecters tapping when they open and close mate, there quite pronounced. if it were an ht lead tracing an path to earth it would missfire as it did it.

i doubt it would be an piston unless it only does it when its cold. if it does its likely to be piston slap.

 

if its the same as a 1.6 gti, the rear pipe runs from the compensator on the passenger side inner wing right down the car, round the tank to above the passenger side flexy pipe on the beam. it then splits off via a union to the drivers side wheel.

there pretty easy to do tbh. i remove all of the rear pipes, including the flexi, in one, then build it up on the floor, then reinstall it. its much easier and less fiddly tthan doing it with it all on the car.

 

as for the fiesta, throw it in the bin.

 

hope that helps

runs on to the petrol tank way. a few people has told me as well that i will have to take the petrol tank out, have a few bits to do to it like thats why i brought the fiesta, plus being 17 not having much expierance but learn quickly on these engines ect, but would be lost with out the fiesta would bin it if it wont so cheap to run haha 205 309s drink more than me

you dont have to take the tank out. alot of people say it, but i never have. you can get the around the tank either by undoing the tank mounting bolts and shifting it over or pushing them up very carefully into place.

 

i would get the carb off your fiesta, strip it down and give it a good clean with some carb cleaner. they had a habit of splitting the diaphram (sp?) causing them to run crappy. you can get new ones for pennys from ford.

My girlfriends fieste ran like crap, cold and hot... i told her to scrap it but she didnt , however in the end it was the diaphram.

Most likely that will be a cracked exhaust manifold, very common and sounds just like a tappet except it gets louder with engine load.

get a long screwdriver of extension bar and place it agianst an injector and slowly and carefully move your ear to it. it may be fairly obvious if it is the injectors.
