2.3L Trouble

fordboy4rd · February 2nd, 2007, 07:37 PM

i got a 2.3L with a 5200 Motorcraft on it.. when it starts it wont idle for shit and it blows the gas back out of the carb i dont know if its a vaccum because i dont know which ones go where and the chilton or haynes did not have any diagram of the motor with the same carb..

sounds like it might be starving for fuel. You may want to tune your carb. I don't know much about carb engines or the 2.3L but that may be whats goin on.

i dout its starving.. i got a electric fuel pump on it.. it blows it out for some reason i dont understand.. iv had the carb apart.. it seems to work but i dont know about the second barrel but it has nothing to do with it idling.. i cut the exuast off maybe its just so loud i idle it way to low.. haha that could be it but when i put it in gear it dies even if i hold it to the floor.. its like it has no power.. its firing really good but i think it has something to do with it blowing some gas out of the carb when u give it gas and shit im getting pissed off at it its not the motor i want in it but someone offered me like 300 - 400 bucks for the motor and tranny and i want it to run im actually changing it and putthis this 351 BB in it haha depends im liking the 351W but the bigger the better is the way i see it someone help me out here and tell me what is wrong with my motor
