ok guys i wrote a thread a few weeks back about my escort with running problems.
ok since having the car i have my it run better.
short story
1. hard start hard to keep running
2. i sorted that but always stalled at tickover.
3 changed every sensor there is along with leads plugs coil pack idcv ect ect.
4. checked all vacuum pipes ect ect.
so initially you would think it should be fine well this happens> can some times start flick of the key other times a good few spins.
ticks over fine for 10 seconds or so then drops down and hunts or sometimes hunts at normal revs until you rev it up.
when ticking over can start hunting then go back to normal then back to hunting. there seems to be a clapping sound under the cam belt cover. looked and the belt seems to be very bouncy, but doesnt seem enough to jump a tooth. sooo any ideas? if a belt was loose enough not to jump out of time but to make slack for the cams, would it cause this?
