What is wrong when my car starts up and stalls after 5-6 sekonds. Ive checked the fuel pump, fuel pump relee. Cords and plugs. But when i push down the disk right under the airfilter box with my hand its running fine.

i think it means your metering head is knackered.. the flap is probably sitcking, meaning the mixture is off. I dunno if you can lubricate it or if you just have to go get a new metering head!

HTH,

Mark.

Il try to clean it and lubricate it first then... a new meetering head cost a s***load here in norway... about 1000£
Thanx for the help:)

£1000 FOR A METERING HEAD!!!!!!!!! Second hand here we pay about £70 ish quid

[mtropolis]

Yup... i read fast ford evey month and se the prices u guys have:) About 1/3 of the prices in norway. A factory new engine for this car cost about 4000£ At burtonpower in england it cost about 1200 or so. We even have a special tax on BACON!

Check for air leaks on the boost pipes.
