Nope not abandoned - considered selling for a while but would of regretted . Granadas not to bad only £30 a week fuel though I don't work far from home

Still got your suggestion to try - thanks

I have tried the joining of the cables - also bought another car and swapped everything from one to the other There are a few things I'm going to try inc Petes suggestion re fuel pump mount Thing is since Iv started using the Granada I have realised Iv been getting it wrong all these years - instead of having car of the road for years converting and making it go faster it's a lot better driving an old arm chair and driving like miss daisy

20 months since I updated Done nothing with it till last weekend Got it ready for mot and today it past Subaru specialist told me try fitting a newer bigger intercooler which Iv done and still got the fault There are a few thing I need to test and going to look to front mount the intercooler this year I'm sick of having old fords but not driving an old ford So I bought a Granada and used as my daily for the last 8 months - I'm not doing anything to it apart from enjoy it my escorts also taken a back seat but hopefully push on this year Took opertunity today to take some photos

Again

Mine when it was 1st rebuilt - will be back on the road Asian next month

Any more info or photos?

Thanks for the advice and comments I will give it a try and let you know how it goes Thanks

Thanks for advice - iwill check and let you know the type I'm sure that's where I will end up at rolling road - I was hoping swapping all parts from 1 car to another would sort as I didn't want to have a rolling road check find a stupid easy fault ....

Hello mike I'm welcoming any advice and nothing is undermining Iv got in to late tonight to mess on but will unplug and try it on my way to work tomorrow and update Thanks

It's great alright............I hate fault codes ......

I welcome any advice - I have previously checked pipes and valves for leaks but will look further in to it - the ere are no no noises and the boost is steady and good. The bit I can't get my head around is it runs perfect at idle. Normal driving and heavy driving upto 4k and then after 4.5k revs .

Well tonight it all started well I removed the lambda from the cortina and instantly I knew there was a fault with it as the inside had broken down and rattled away with lots of small parts of metal inside. I'm so lucky the outer casing did not fail as it would have been pulled straight into the turbo..... I then removed the lambda from the Subaru and this one was solid with no rattles. I was convinced this was it sorted .. Fitted then test drive and all was well - them after several mile same old fault....... I tried the fault code light which showed Idle air control valve and knock sensor faults I swapped the idle air control valve 1st thinking the knock sensor is only showing due to the miss fire. Still no better I then changed the knock sensor which still didnot rectfie. I then checked the fault codes and the same 2faults are listed. Very confusing as the car I'm removing all the parts from has no faults and runs well . Iv left the battery leads connected to clear the ecu memory and will try it again tomorrow I'm running out of ideas now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what I needed - something simple I'd never thought of pointing out to me - I'll give it a go tomorrow night.... Thanks
