Glad it's fixed.
I presume you are talking about the hard plastic pipes about 14mm dia on the
warm up valve, these should have a rubber insert in the ends to make them a
tight fit on the valve.
They don't normally have any hose clips.
If it's loose then probably the rubber insert is missing or perished.

Wahey the Quant lives again! Jim I owe you a beer!
The cold start unit was the culprit because the pipe going to it appeared to
be complete with no splits but the jubilee was old and useless and the pipe
slid on and off as it pleased.
The car now has a nice regular tickover as it should.
I am a fool for not finding this earlier.
However the cambelt was loose and I have renewed many hose clips etc so the
car is better for its fault.
Now I can get on with building my special, oh and getting an MOT on my MX 5
and putting the engine back in my Sprint, I think I must live in my garage.
Cheers Jon

Hmm, thinking back to when my 2+2 had this engine.
Try unplugging the cold start injector, mine never liked running with it
connected and there could be a fault with the thermo time switch meaning it's
on all the time instead of just a few seconds at start up.
Do the plugs look wet / smell of fuel ?
You can take all the injectors out of the manifold and point them into some
little jars (4 baby food jars taped to a piece of wood works well.
Then crank the engine over.
If you get nothing then manually move the flap in the air flow meter and
see if you do then.
If you disconnect the fuel return pipe and crank the engine do you get any
fuel out of that ?

Oh dear I am no nearer finding this fault than a week and a half ago. I
have good spark and plenty of fuel at high pressure so either a weak spark
under load (but that would start but break down).
The cambelt is fine and timed up correctly as are plug leads and cap.
It must be the fuel distributer so my next step is to see if the
injectors are spraying some.
I will check all hoses yet again.
I will change the coil too just in case. ( I do have a big spark though)
When I try to start it it will just catch the once and no more.
Any more ideas gents?
Pleeeease
Jon

I'm assuming this is the Escort KE injection engine as you mention the
pink relay.
The fuel pump relay on this system does have a engine speed input but
it's only supposed to be so that the fuel pump stops if the engine stops running
When you crank the engine do you hear the fuel pump still running ?
If the relay had died completely you wouldn't have the engine running
at all.
If you look at a wiring diagram you can link out the relay to prove
it's not that.
Have you checked all the intake hoses, if one has come off then the air
wouldn't be going through the air flow meter and it would supply very little
fuel.
Another fault could be the centre contact on the distributor cap, this
can break off and then the spark only manages to jump the gap at higher engine
speeds.
It's when the engine is decelerating that the cam belt can break or
jump teeth (if it's too loose), my Mondeo failed under braking a few months ago
though on that it was the tensioner pulley that went.
Bent all the valves on the head :-(

CVH turbo was very difficult to start and after a bumping it it managed to run
on high revs only, as soon as you lifted off it died.
It will not tick over or run below about 1500 rpm, much as if it had
an inlet air leak but I have sealed the servo etc to check.
I suspect the big pink fuel pump relay, any other ideas guys?
When you try to start it it runs a couple of revolutions and stops.
