Hi I just bought a Williams 1 with a partly rebuilt engine, with a lot of help from a guy that knows a bit more about these cars than I do I managed to finish the rebuild and the car now runs YAY! of course as soon as you get a project like this working you always seem to uncover loads more problems:-
1) The engine had a big end re-build at APD about 2000 miles ago and will now only run on a 16v ECU when I plug a willy ECU in it ticks over but will not rev at all! just sounds like its running on 3 cylinders cant understand whats causing this!
2) the engine ticks over at 2000 revs all the time! it didnt do this to begin with and just slowly got worse and worse - checked throttle cable, idle control valve and throttle position sensor. What else could be causing this?
3) I have done about 100 miles in the car since we finished and it still sounds like an N reg Fiesta - SO Ticky. I presume this is tappets do you think they will quieten down??
would really appreciate your comments :D
