Seems to overfuel on all injectors though as there is fuel/oil build up in each runner. I'm assuming something is telling PCM to add more fuel at idle. No codes (haven't tried ford though to see if they find codes on their system).

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m Posted 29/09/13 12:00 PM Author Share Posted 29/09/13 12:00 PM So not fuel reg, and definitely can't find any vac leaks. Put a manual vac gauge on and car sits steady at 14hg vac. Doesn't fluctuate at all which points to timing issue?? Would it have anything to do with the cam solenoids maybe not working properly at idle?? They can gum up apparently and cause issues. I'm stumped.

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m Posted 30/09/13 09:30 AM Author Share Posted 30/09/13 09:30 AM Did brake booster checks and all seems fine. Sooo strange, to drop that amount of hg would have to mean a pretty serious leak. Don't know what else to look at.

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m Posted 03/11/13 07:41 AM Author Share Posted 03/11/13 07:41 AM Ok so have worked out my issue well sort of.... Changed injectors back to stock, loaded stock tune and bam smooth idle and instant fuel at 1.8lt. Dunno y the deka 60's didn't like the fg setup?? Anyway moving on I'm looking at some deatschwerks 740cc injectors, any body used them?? Other than that im looking at the cheapest option to stay at current power level (346rwkw) and get a good idle. Thoughts?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85814-strange-idle-after-engine-swap/page/4/#findComment-1437846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
