Hi all
Don't know is it best to keep this thread going here or eleswhere ? please advise.

Hi lucky i am sure you could be tempted 1997 2.5l v6 ford probe laser tint red
in garage at moment for mot and trying to sort abs prob.

As said have two 2.5l probes bought one in 2000 thats 95 model and 97 about 5 years ago
don't want to sell anything but need the room for gen 3 coming soon.

Right on the renamed dusty front,in garage this afternoon due to being called to work this morning aargh
new plugs checked spark at each,all ok checked petrol all ok.
Got compression tester out i know you cant do a normal comp test on rotarys so sorted one way valves out
was going to see if got three regular pulses on gauge,anyway would'nt screw in to plug holes so i thought
bad job can't be bothered to go indoors to see if had different gauge thread,i thought lets give her a spin.
Put fuse back in for petrol pump gave her few seconds to get fuel in hold out choke turn key,turn key,wait get petrol
in,turn key and as you guys say on here braap braap braap of she goes smokin the village out of course
keep her spinnin about 1500 rpm couple of mins,choke in tickin over a guddun.
Reversed out of garage let me clean out 20yrs can't say junk maybe unused items.

Cheers phil.

Hi Phil,
Welcome to the forum and good luck with getting your project on he road. Sounds like you got her going again so that's a start hey.
I live in Basingstoke near the station and hope to bringing my rx7 down from storage soon enough to start the project again. Where abouts are you?

Sure is Phil, so much in fact I have had to move to another SA lol. I have a thread on here which you can check out but in a nut shell I'm doing a ground up nut and bolt resto project with a streetport (possibly turbo'd) 13B up front, koni shocks and lowered on custom springs. It's my first resto project and rotary so steep learning curve but love it.
