    A lot of the wiring, done by the restorers, putting the ENGINE back in was wrong..IE, The negative earth was wired to a positive output, the EEC-1V WIRES TO THE DISSY WAS just about to drop off, wires was S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D to fit, had to be re wired properly, the TIMING was RETARDED, 6 DEGREES btdc..The mechanic will let me know if the new AFM i have given him, is the problem on tuesday...

    When the mechanic got the car and managed to start it, it was running so rich the whole of the shop was awash in black sooty smoke, all the plugs had to be changed as they were completely black.

    WOW, well that was a LONG read,..but a good one, and like i was told by my MECHANIC, whom asked a MECHANIC up the sunshine coast that actually modifies these engines A LONG WAY, only 2 things go WRONG with them, the ECT and the AFM...Wish I could print it out and show the mechanic. Would love to do a self test and see what POPS up...CHEERS and thanks for the INFO.

    Given the AFM to the mechanic, and some of your ideas here. He has already checked the water temp sensor and the thermostat. ALL good. He did think it could be crap in the injectors....but is worried why the car stays the same when the AFM IS UNPLUGGED COMPLETELY OR even with just the wires off..

    Having a problem with my 87 XF EFI ENGINE. It starts, idles, but just a little rich. Will REV, However as you drive the car, and accelerate it carries on like crap, it does not want to go. 

    Fuel pump is OK..Pressure is OK

    Changed the FM and the EEC1V, As a matter of fact, the car will run, WITHOUT the AFM...At a lost where to look now, new plugs, new leads. It just sends A LOT of fuel in ...Any help would be appreciated..The ENGINE is perfect...TFI Is OK...Why would it be sending so much fuel in under LOAD/ACCELERATION??

    Personally the only problem I have had with my lifter was actually to do with the Rocker. Some bright spark ground the rocker down. New set of rockers and it was all good.

    How many people here have used top gun leads and recommend them?. I have used them, but i find they are crap, if you lean on them in the slightest or handle them too roughly, its like you dont get a good connection, i find either NGK or the ford ones are quite good and last longer.

    Run the engine and spray some WRC? over the engine/hoses see if it changes note..if it does you have an air leak..you could also try checking the rocker cover bolts, see if any are loose...sucking in air..
