I had cutting out on a XR3i many years ago and it was that.
Just light surface rust on the threads the connectors push onto but it was enough.

Thanks Jim.

The inside of the connectors look ok, but I have pushed them in and out several times to see if this helps and cleans any muck out.

Thanks for the thought.

    Check the ignition coil low voltage connections for rust,
    especially if you still have the Ford rubber push on connections.

    Hiya folks

    I am after some advise please?

    Q2-002 keeps cutting out at intermittent times.  It feels like
    fuel as it splutters and hunts, and I have cleaned the carbs,
    replaced the fuel line with shiny copper ones, replaced the fuel
    filter to the fuel pump, and fitted new rubber pipes to all the
    other bits.  It had a new fuel pump approx 4 years ago as the old
    one leaked.  It has had new plugs, rotor arm, dizzy cap and
    leads.  The Ignition Module was replaced last year.  The air
    filter is now a paper one instead of the K&N as I thought this
    may have been the issue to start with before Christmas last year.
     It happens when the car is stone cold (did 50 meters this
    morning before it spluttered), and also when hot (on the back of
    a 20 mile run).  It has been running great for the last 3 / 4
    weeks or so since the petrol pipes were changed...

    Additionally - I had a water leak yesterday, but does not seem to
    have lost any water from the coolant tank.  Got the engine hot
    enough for the fan to cut in, revved it up, squeezed all the
    hoses, and not a sign of anything.  I have got 'rad weld' in the
    system, so maybe this has cured it. (It was coolant - did the
    taste test).

    Don't think the 2 are connected, but any suggestions gratefully
    received.

    Best regards

    James T
