Pretzel EMS makes MAGIC MUMBO ! Member 192 Member For: 21y 2m 24d Location: Melbourne Posted 24/12/04 06:10 AM Share Posted 24/12/04 06:10 AM question ..would you car loser power if the intercooler pipe came off<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I can't remember hearing this happening on the Ford, but I expect that the IC pipes should be pretty well clamped. IC pipe coming off is more likely where aftermarket kits have been fitted. If a clamp is not tight enough, a hose is most likely to separate when you give it a bootfull and you'll lose all power and probably cut out. It hasn't happenend on my Ford, but on my other cars where this has happened, and quite a few times, the car can be restarted, will act very sick, idles very roughly, massively overfuelling and giving out black smoke, as the air flow sensor is being bypassed.Someone may have tested this on their Ford.Brian<{POST_SNAPBACK}>BCL,I have had the pipes off on my car, and because Ford doesn't actually have an Air Flow Sensor, (it works of Manifold Pressure) there is no issue with overfuelling etc.. It is basicaly then a low compression N/A !Idle is fine, just don't expect performance ! Ask Geea, with his boostless run at Calder !Hope this helpsPretzel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes dear )I hope this information is interesting to some anyway.Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
