ive got the haynes diagram for 1990 on models. Also no relay xi for me?

That's because ford had the GENIUS idea that fitting the relay and linking it to the imobaliser would fool the world and prevent even the most inteligent of thives working out that simply removing the relay and shorting the two terminals would get past the Imobaliser
:D

Ok... Got to make the kids tea but if you have not progressed by later on then will provide a bit more info...

that makes sense, ok ill short those out and give it a go. well, ill tyr to put the ignition bits of the loom back to how they origninally were. Hopefully it'll work.:o

ok, well i just got a spark plug out, and tried cranking, i dont seem to be getting any sparks, i did ground the plug before you ask. any ideas what could be the problem?

Put the king lead dizzy end close to the battery eart and then tap a wire from earth agains the coil -ve and see if it induces a spark.

Also check for power ad the ESC unit.

before i do that i had one question. the output of the hybrid ignition module that goes to the ignition coil - is at 12v when the ignition is set to on(ii). I wondered when the car is off is the -terminal on the coil meant to be at groung and the + terminal not connected, and when the car is on, is - terminal still at ground and what hapens to the + terminal? i dont understand as why is the green wire from the hybrid ignition at 12v, when it goes to the- terminal?

ok, i think i got it sorted, as the engine loom didnt seem to be grounded for some reason, so i grounded one of the brown wires and now it seems grounded, however, where does the +ve wire from the ignition coil go to, as i says it goes to the anti theft module, do i just put it to +12v?

Ok, i got the plugs sparking, when i crank, fuel it being pumped in, puffs of smoke are coming out the exhaust, except, it doesn't start and stay running now? i put a teaspoon or so into the carb, still no luck, any ideas? wiring seems to be right if it is sparking.. i dont know what to do now?

Coil +12V goes to the Black and yellow at the ignition switch.

If using the orignial loom you will find that the circuit is interupted by the alarm/imobalise module . Find the 16 pin plug for this and join the 2 Balck + yellow wires.

Don't wire it to a constant +12 except for testing.




If your getting spark, and the plugs are gettign wet.

Pull the plugs and clean them and bake them in the oven at 100c for 30 mins. Leave the cylinders to evaporate the fuel for a couple of hours. Refit the plugs and check the lead order is correct.

Give it another whirl.
