hi all iv been a member here for  a while now but not got round to saying hi and showing my cabby.

i bought the car as a project a few years ago and have slowly been geting it sorted and back on the road. It had been in storage for a while before i got it and was in abit of a state, the whole car was covered in green gunk and moss all over. after doing some bodywork, a full respray and fitting some new parts shes finally finished. all work was carried out by myself. today she flew through the MOT and is ready for the shows next year.

Auto choke lol I meant the WUR. 

[Xr3i cutting out help please !]

My 1.6 xr3i mfi won’t run. It starts and idles high as if the auto choke is running, it then drops down to just under 1000 then dies and it’s unable to start again at all. What could be causing this?

Have you any exhaust gas data?

The metering valves are known for sticking.

Cheers

I don’t I’m afraid

how can I tell if the metering unit is sticking?

[Mk4 xr3i mfi bad running]

Checked for leaks but couldn’t find aything. When the engine gets warm it starts to drop rpm and stalls

[Mk4 xr3i mfi bad running]

Got a problem with my 89 xr3i cab. 1.6 mfi . I think it’s running rich and it seems to not be getting enough air. If I pull the vacuum pipe off where the cold start valve is on the inlet manifold it runs a lot better due to sucking in more air. Anyone know what could be causing this please and how to resolve. Thanks!
