ok the air flow meter is brand new so kinda ruled that out.

Car seems to be burbling and popping more than usual from the exhaust, just sounds like not enuf fuel is gettin thru.

Gonna try cleaning my ICV out.

IDEAS???

if its burbling and popping it means its over fueling! too much fuel going through and exploding in the exhaust!

What plugs did you put in?

check for air leaks in / around the turbo! I'm having a simular problem with the gto at the minute!

Check for any air leaks best bet! when did the problem start? after you got the new ecu? tried disconnecting the ecu for half hour so it resets?

iom gto its just a zetec fez with a puma 1.7 vct lump, no turbo.....

nah the plugs have bee in a while with no trouble, just hoping its that fuel i put it.

its not rly popping it just burbles and revs dont seem to sit steady.

Can't remember if you have a lightened flywheel or not Claridge?

no i havnt p. i have got my heart set on changing the fuel filter and will be ok. but at the same time i will clean the ICV, and possibly disconnect the battery for a bit.

unsure if that will do anything for a ford ecu i know it does for the mitsubishi ecu's!

yeah maybe not, im just tryin to check as many things as i can.lol

it feels like a turbo at the mo, lol :lol:

if i was you do the simple (cheap) things first fuel filter /air filter, check all hoses (intake) no blockages etc etc! all electrical contection take off and clip back on! these modern cars use everything for the ecu to make the car run correctly! water temps o2 sensors oil pressure etc etc etc batter connections! endless

yeah am goin up to my mates tonight, just do simple checks, make sure there is no dirt in connections etc, checked for leaks, nothing around, there is only about 8 hoses in total on my engine, really simple. :shock:
