Does it have the PATS anti theft system on it with the coded key ?,
either a red key or a key with a red dot on it.
If so, is the sensor around the ignition switch still connected ?
I think there is an LED in the clock that should come on and then go out
when the ecu sees the key, if it stays on when the car is started then
it's not seeing the key.

Hello all
I've posted this over on proboards too so apologies if you drift
between both. I'm currently replacing the entire interior on my H4
which is turning into a bit of an epic, I've got the entire interior
out and clean, and new carpet sitting in the living room waiting to go
in. But I've now got a bigger issue...
Having finished cleaning the inside of my car, I thought I'd better
start it and let it run for 15 mins as it had been sitting for about
three weeks.
It starts fine, idles happily for about 10 seconds, then coughs and
dies. And it does this repeatedly; It has petrol in it and is turning
over and catching fine with no lights on the dashboard. I can hear the
fuel pump priming (it does sound quite whiny but I think that is
probably because I've stripped the interior so it sounds a bit louder)
and then it's stopping after about 2 secs so that seems fine.
It runs smooth - and I can't seem to "rev through" the stall either,
makes zero difference.
I've not looked under the bonnet (couldn't face it haha). Leads and
plugs are reasonably new so unlikely to be anything quite so obvious;
could be fuel filter I guess, or fuel relay. Or oxygen or airflow
sensor, or some idle control problem. BUT - the main reason I'm asking
is that I'm wondering whether me stripping the interior may have done
something to cause such an issue? Only having played with carb
engine's I'm a bit adrift with ECU controlled Zetec's.
Is there anyone out there who has built a H4 from scratch that could
think of anything that I could have done by removing the interior that
could have caused it? I'm thinking cables and the such primarily.
Anything run front to back that's reasonably vital for example?
Many thanks all.
Niall
