XE Conversion rewiring- non starter

[MattBrown]

Sounds like earth problems to me.....

Right i changed the wiring to the one it should be and the car fired up right away.

now its still overfuelling terrible and after 2 mins running i have to dry the cylinders and clean the plugs before it will allow me to start it again.

heard the temp sensors are usually to blame but how do you check them with a multimeter before i go any further with it.

any advise would be great as its now at the finishing line but just a niggle now to get it running right.

also what ford plugs do people use as iv heard its NGK PTR5A10, the plugs fitted are dud and only a tiny spark if anything so wondering if this is part of the running problem.

can anyone give me some more advice ?

just get a new cts (coolant temp sensor), they are cheap and usually at fault. i assume the cooling system is free of any air, cos it needs to be.

just stick with std factory plugs, they are fine.

If its a standard XE, just fit GM plugs.

also check for any air leaks around the throttle body as that can cause it to run rich , also a dodgey AFM , but as you have also said ,CTS is a good starting point
