Hi there,
Can someone please help me with this problem.
I got given a '86 XF 6cyl, carbied, the last owner said to do the timing i have to join a 2 pin plug together with bit of wire to bring down the idle before setting the timing.
But,....when i was working @ a exhaust/mechanic shop, every time we timed an engine we brought the revs up to around 3000rpm.
I ask this because i've never worked on a ford XF before & wanted to know if this is the right way to set the timing?
As the engine still detinates when under alot of load, not good.
Thanks
Muzza

you need to get the car at operating temp, put the two pin jump wire in which bypasses the computer,its in the loom near the brake booster,it will bring the idle down, set your timing to where you want it, pull the jump wire off idle will rise slightly, s
