goddamn are you my clone or what :D. mines slower than my mates EB GLi and the mileage isnt that great either. id love to know if theres a solution to our collective problems.

yep, as above - check the cat, also the fuel filter, distributor cap, rotor, leads, ignition timing...

if the timing is very retarded it will go like crap and use lots of fuel too...

I dunno what you done to the car derb but it was running perfect the day you picked it up...
i dunno either. she seems fine, theres nothing out of the ordinary. just the fact that its slower than a stock eb.

hi guys, i had a similar scenario with my ED XR6 also, checked everything including ECU and told running to specs but having owned since new I knew something was wrong. Turned out to be the ECU even though it tested ok apparently they degrade internally and go off song, replaced with genuine exchange unit from ford, note not a rebuid by a dealer but from factory and now runs like a dream again.
Hope this helps
