Greetings everyone, I recently got my hands on a 1.7 ford puma that I am doing a restoration on. But the car has a very high idle rpm which is also not stable.
My mechanic is having a slight problem tuning it, since he either overtunes it or undertunes it. It either gets to the point where the RPM spike at like 8000rpm after breaking (they go calm after changing to neutral), or normal RPM but on the second shift it has no power at all under full throttle.
He also found a tube that is stopped with a screw, which he thinks some kind of pump should go there but he doesn't know what is it for.
Does anyone know what this tube is for?
