Title: rough idle??
Post by spanners on Dec 20^th, 2011, 5:50pm

hi all.
recently had my inlet manifold crack on my 2.3 and got a replacement off a ford galaxy. managed to bond in the parts that arnt present and swap the other components over. i fitted it with little trouble i even sealed the gaskets to prevent leakage.
only now it seems to be running rough at idle and sometimes stalls!
ive been to a garage to have diagnostics checked. faults are pointing at the inlet metering sensor and or oxygen sensor ?
as i have not been near these components. could this be a different issue?
for the last few months now and again the idle at start up has been a little rough but it clears. but now its much worse. ive also checked all the vacume pipes and all seems ok?
any advice would be welcome.

when you fited the manifold did you take out the 2 no revtorex studs if you dident its posible you puled the pipe that goes behind the moter and into the crankcase vent its under the ex manifold

yes 5stud i removed the 2 studs as it wouldnt come out without doing so. will check that because i was trying to do so until i realised this. i might have disturbed that pipe so will check that. thanks for the info mate.
