Ford Fiesta engines

[edhorne]

Hello there

Can anyone tell me up to what age did Fiesta 1300 ohv engines still use carbs.

I have a LPG converted 1300 Escort on carbs and wish to tranfer everything over to the latest Fiesta possible.

If anyone can point me to a website with the info that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Ed

I know a guy that does gas conversions, on an injection engine i'm sure you can still use the vaporising ring before the throttle body rather than going over to sequential gas injection which will cost you the injector solenoids and ecu etc..
will have to ask him about it

At worst you will probably have to change the vaporiser from the carb mounted over to the pipe mounted one.

now this is where i get confused.. my 1300 is carbed and injection O_O fiesta kent engine all these wires going to a carb and i thought carbs just needed fuel and air...

Its probably single point injection, how olds the engine?

We stopped using carbs around 89/90 when the emissions laws shifted, in readiness for the arrival of closed loop control and cats, the EEC IV controled weber central fuel injection system took over the fueling role. (looks just like a carb )

The engine as you know it is no longer used.
