This sounds like the swirl pot in the tank isn't very good. The proper
Fiesta Mk3 injection tanks worked well, but the aftermarket ones are not as
good. Provably the easiest fix would be to add a swirl pot on the fuel feed
within the engine bay, although this would probably require and additional
fuel pump to be added after the swirl pot and before the injector rail.
Not quick or that cheap, but it would still work should the tank need to be
replaced again.

Steve

Hi
A comment in there about fuel starvation is worth pursuing. When the fuel
in my H4 (2L Zetec) is low, a significant fast turn to the left makes the
engine splutter, with recovery just requiring straightening out. I'm pretty
confident this must be a problem with fuel pick up, but I wondered if that
might be a mistake. Plus, of course and thoughts on how to remove the
problem might be useful. Currently I have two solutions - don't let the
tank run down low and/or slow down. But a proper fix would be of interest.
Incidentally the tank was recently replaced, but it was supposedly a
'proper' one. Having said that, the problem also occurred with the original
tank.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Barry the painter?
Ahh! that's interesting. My Q (Last Chance Saloon) has had an intermittent
fault which has only shown up on my last 2 trips to Stoneleigh. I thought
it was a fuelling issue (it may be of course), but it hasn't done it at any
other time (not even on both trips home!) I was thinking it just didn't
like going to Stoneleigh. On the 2018 trip there it wouldn't hold the idle
unless the revs were raised with the throttle. With Mark Cleminson
assisting the carb jets were checked and nothing untoward found. I wondered
if the idle cut off valve was playing up, and when I took the +ve feed off
to it, and reconnected I got an HT jolt through my fingers. The coil was
going to be an item to be checked this year prior to Stoneleigh, and your
observation has made me even more inclined to think the coil may be the
problem. Reminds me of the first kit I built (Dutton Melos)...... The
engine cut a few times when exiting sharp RH bends, and first thought was
fuel starvation - When I saw an oil leak from the coil (and of course
replaced it) the fault disappeared. Things (especially intermittent) aren't
always what they first (or second, or third) seem to be.

Sounds like mine when I had an intermittent fault on the coil. New coil
sorted it.

A few days ago, I had an e-mail from someone I've not heard of. The Subject
was asking about the next issue of QM [I am the previous editor] but there
was no text in the message part. So I deleted it.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Soon I must try to get my 2+2 on the
road again. It goes so far, then stalls Will start immediately and runs if
you keep the revs up. Bit difficult at roundabouts! Is there a known
problem with the XR2 1.6 litre CVH engine?

Hi all,
hope all Quantumers (not forgetting other kit car owners) had a good
Christmas! I had a message this morning entitled "Brush painting gel coat"
from someone called Barry. If Barry has my email via the group that's not a
problem, but the message had no script, just attachment so looked
suspicious I deleted it. If Barry wants to pick my brains then no problem,
can he send another note!
To Jim, Steve or other techi people....... Is it possible (or even likely)
that my computer had been infiltrated by someone who's gathered a subject
and my email name (which isn't used in many places) and sent something
malicious?
Martin
