brake FORD SIERRA 1985 1.G Fuel And Exhaust Systems Carburettor Workshop Manual

Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.
1Check the idle speed and mixture
adjustment. The idle speed must be correct
before attempting to check or adjust the fast
idle speed.
2With the engine at normal operating
temperature, and a tachometer connected in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions proceed as follows.
3Remove the air cleaner.
4Position the fast idle speed adjustment
screw on the lowest (6th) step of the fast idle
cam (see illustration).
5Check that the fast idle speed is as
specified. If adjustment is required, stop the
engine and proceed as follows.
6Remove the tamperproof cap from the fast
idle speed adjustment screw.
7Ensure that the adjustment screw is still
resting on the lowest step of the fast idle cam,
then open the throttle so that a small
screwdriver can be used to adjust the screw
from below the carburettor.
8Start the engine and recheck the fast idle
speed.
9If necessary, repeat the procedure given in
paragraphs 7 and 8 until the correct fast idle
speed is obtained.
10On completion of adjustment, stop the
engine and disconnect the tachometer, then
refit the tamperproof cap to the adjustment
screw, and refit the air cleaner.Note: A new gasket must be used when
refitting the carburettor. A tachometer and an
exhaust gas analyser will be required to check
the idle speed and mixture on completion.Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the air cleaner.
3Disconnect the wiring from the anti-
dieselling (anti-run-on) valve.
4Disconnect the wiring from the automatic
choke heater.
5Disconnect the fuel supply and return
hoses, noting their locations to aid refitting.
Plug the ends of the hoses to minimise petrol
spillage.
6Disconnect the link arm from the throttle
linkage.
7Disconnect the vacuum pipe.
8Release the coolant hose from the bracket
under the automatic choke housing.
9Unscrew the four Torx screws, and lift the
carburettor from the inlet manifold. Recover
the gasket.
Refitting
11Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.
12Ensure that the mating faces of the inlet
manifold and the carburettor are clean, and
use a new gasket.
13Ensure that all hoses, pipes and wiring are
correctly routed, and free from restrictions. If
any of the hoses were originally secured with
crimped-type clips, discard these, and use
new worm-drive clips on refitting.
14Make sure that the coolant hose is
correctly positioned in the bracket under the
automatic choke housing.
15On completion, check and if necessary
adjust the idle speed and mixture.
Refer to Chapter 1, Sections 15 and 16.1Proceed as described for the Weber 2V
carburettor, noting the following.
2The fast idle adjustment screw should be
positioned on the third (middle) step of the
fast idle cam (see illustration).
3Refer to the Specifications at the beginning
of this Chapter for the correct fast idle speed.
SOHC models
Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Partially drain the cooling system.
3Remove the air cleaner.
4Disconnect the coolant hoses from the
automatic choke (where applicable), and the
inlet manifold. Identify the hose locations for
use when refitting.
5Disconnect the fuel supply hose at the
carburettor and plug the end to minimise
petrol spillage.
6Disconnect all relevant wiring and vacuum
pipes from the carburettor, if necessary noting
the locations for use when refitting.
7Disconnect the throttle cable from the
throttle linkage.
8Disconnect the crankcase ventilation and
brake servo vacuum hoses from the inlet
manifold. The brake servo vacuum hose is
secured with a union nut (see illustrations).
9Disconnect any remaining wiring and
vacuum pipes from the inlet manifold, if
necessary noting the locations as an aid to
refitting.
10Where necessary, unbolt the throttle cable
bracket from the top of the inlet manifold for
improved access, and unbolt the dipstick tube
bracket.
11Unscrew the two nuts and four bolts
securing the manifold to the cylinder head,
noting the location of the rear engine lifting

12Lift the inlet manifold from the cylinder
head, and recover the gasket (see
illustration).
13If desired, the carburettor can be removed
from the inlet manifold by unscrewing the
securing nuts or screws. Refer to the relevant
Section describing carburettor removal and
refitting. Recover the gasket.
Refitting
14Refitting is a reversal of removal bearing
in mind the following points.
15Ensure that all mating faces are clean.
16Renew the gasket(s), and apply a bead of
sealant at least 5.0 mm (0.2 in) wide around
the central coolant aperture on both sides of
the manifold-to-cylinder head gasket.
17Tighten the manifold securing nuts and
bolts progressively to the specified torque,
ensuring that the engine lifting bracket is in
place.
18Make sure that all hoses, pipes and wires
are correctly reconnected, and if the fuel
supply hose was originally secured with a
crimped type clip, discard this and use a new
worm drive clip on refitting.
19On completion, refill the cooling system,
adjust the throttle cable and check and if
necessary adjust the idle speed and mixture.

9Tighten the manifold securing nuts
progressively to the specified torque, and
similarly tighten the exhaust downpipe
securing nuts. Do not forget to fit the engine
lifting bracket on SOHC models.
10Ensure that the HT leads are reconnected
to their correct cylinders.
Inspection
1The exhaust system should be examined for
leaks, damage, and security at regular
intervals. To do this, apply the handbrake, then
start the engine and allow it to idle. Lie down on
each side of the vehicle in turn and check the
full length of the exhaust system for leaks,
while an assistant temporarily places a wad of
cloth over the tailpipe. If a leak is evident, stop
the engine and use a proprietary repair kit to
seal it. If an excessive leak or damage is
evident, renew the relevant section of the
exhaust system. Check the rubber mountings
for deterioration and renew if necessary.
Removal
2To remove the exhaust system, jack up the
front and rear of the vehicle and support on
axle stands (see “Jacking and Vehicle
Support”).
3If desired, the exhaust downpipe can be
removed independently of the remainder of
the system, and similarly the main part of the
system can be removed, leaving the
downpipe in place.
4To remove the downpipe, unscrew the
securing nuts and disconnect the downpipe
from the manifold. Recover the gasket.
Unscrew the two nuts and bolts, and separate
the downpipe flanged joint from the remainder
of the system. Withdraw the downpipe (see
illustrations).
5To remove the main section of the exhaust
system leaving the downpipe in place,
unscrew the two securing nuts and bolts and
separate the flanged joint from the downpipe.
Unhook the rubber mountings and withdraw
the system from underneath the vehicle. The
number and type of rubber mountings variesaccording to model (see illustrations). If
necessary to avoid confusion, note how the
mountings are fitted to enable correct
refitting. Note that on P100 models the
system must be manipulated to pass over the
rear axle.
Refitting
6Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure
that all mating faces are clean, and fit a new
gasket between the downpipe and manifold
(see illustration). Do not fully tighten the joint
