Hi all! Got myself a 1985 Montego EFI, only done 28,000 very clean but had some historical running problems by the look of it.
One or many people have had a go at it previously as I can see lots of new parts, marks around the throttle screws etc etc.
I’ve had a good search and read many posts which have helped me a long a bit further but I’m stuck in a loop as there are some fundamental settings I cannot find specs for…
Im hoping someone has the following info so I can reset everything and work from a baseline.
1: Stock butterfly to throttle body clearance?
Haynes manual says 0.038mm / 0.0015 but is this true, seems rather large.
2: CO screw turns out from fully in/closed?
This I understand is a sensitive adjustment but mine screwed very far out it seems and has no effect.
3: Idle stepper motor plunger distance?
My stepper motor moves fine but I noticed the plunger can screw in rand out, is there a dimension for this?
4: Standard fuel pressure with and without vacuum?
5: Standard hot idle speed.
I have done a lot already but without knowing a start point for 1 & 2 I’m stuck in a perpetual loop!
Help please!!
