Hi Jim,
Nothing to report I am afraid. The one thing I was supposed
to do, check that the throttle butterfly closes completely,
I have not had the opportunity to do. I have had my first
few days back at work and it has been to wet in the
evenings. Steve must be very busy at work because he has not
found time to reply to your previous posting. I will do my
best to answer your questions.
If the seals you refer to are small round rubber O rings, I
do remember them being in place.
We used red gasket sealant because we reused the old gaskets
from the aluminium manifold or in one case cut a new one
from gasket paper, and thought it would be best to use the
sealant as well.
Did not check this valve, I think, but engine was working OK
when in the Escort.
Don't recall this canister or the solenoid on the manifold
when we stripped the Escort.
Regards, Geoff.

Hi all and thanks again for all the helpful suggestions.
Steve and I have checked and double checked through all
that has been suggested, every thing seems to work as
it should individually. The idle speed control vale has
been thoroughly cleaned again and checked to see that
it works, then refitted with a new gasket and that it
receives input, electronically, from its plug. Steve
has checked all the connections with his testing
equipment, it's all beyond me!, and it all works. We
have reset the ECU yet again, despite spending all day
Saturday trying to get it to run properly, it still has
the same problem.
Thank you Steve for all the time and effort you have
put in so far to try and fix it.
So if any of you have any further suggestions, we would
be pleased to hear them, as Carole and I are getting
worried now, with only one weekend to go before we head
to Scotland.
Yours hopefully Geoff.

Thank you to all for your help and advice, I will
do a bit more checking and cleaning of contacts
etc tomorrow. The strangest thing,as Steve
mentioned in his original post, is that the engine
idles perfectly
at around 900 - 1000 rpm (according to the XR2 rev
counter) when you first start it up. I have
followed the method for resetting the ECU 4 times
know and it has had good idle speed every time for
the first stage of the reset, ie allow to idle for
10 -15 mins (DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE) it only
goes all wrong after that! As soon as you start to
drive it, that's when it wont idle properly anymore.
Carole say thank you all.
Regards, Geoff.

We're getting a very bad idle with the Zetec in
Carole's 2+2. With the idle
speed control valve connected from cold it will
idle nicely at around
1000rpm, if just left to idle and warm through.
However if you rev, or
drive that car the best idle to can get is
between 2-3,000 rpm, which isn't
great :( The car also drives badly, having
hesitation and then you fight
the engine on the over run.
It is a lot better with the ISCV disconnected,
but still not great. The
idle is still a bit high, being around 1,200
rpm and it still doesn't drive
that great.
We've tried resetting the ECU to re-program it
and Geoff's cleaned all the
electrical contact and the ISCV. Any ideas
what else needs to be done to
get this ready before the HHII?
Regards,
Steve
