Default Re: Welcome to New Members - Post here to say gday!

Hi all, good to be back in a Ford and on Ford Forums.

The sad and impending demise of Ford/FPV motivated me to search for a mint BA/BF GT to 'replace' a BA1 GT I always regretted letting go a few years back .... job done and I picked up a FPV BF2 GT 6spd last weekend!

I do enjoy the sage advise of the many learned contributors to this forum ... cheers

Hi all! Currently carless, but getting sick of the bus and hopefully about to return to the fold.

I have had: XE, XF, ED & KE (as well as HJ, N13, and whatever that mitsubishi and the vans were...).

The next car is likely to be either 98 Mondeo (really cheap!) or an EL (cheap!).

Default BA-BF FPV Pursuit issues?

Hi All
I'm new to the forum, but I have enjoyed information from this site a few times before joining myself, wondering if anyone has information or an idea for my issue, the issue is as follows, sometimes when I start my BA Pusuit it seems like the ignition timing goes into an advanced state? Causes a backfire through the exhaust, and the engine stops cranking as if it was firing too early (easy fix if it had a distributor) I can leave it for a minute and try again and it will start fine, it runs fine, smells a little rich from time to time, it has never been tuned since I have had it @5 years, thought maybe somebody may have had a similar experience? Battery is new, fuel pump and filter @ 2 months old, problem has been on and off for 12 months or so, only ever ran BP Ultimate fuel.... Any ideas would be great, or should I just get it plugged in and diagnosed??
