hi, i recently took off of my 1.4 cvh engined escort the bit that sits above the intake manifold (been up since 430 and just got in brains stopped working and i cant remember its proper name)to give it a clean as it breathes a bit heavy and had oil stains all inside and was jsut looking nasty, ive put it back on and now when i start it it starts then cuts out after about 10 -15 seconds, ive since left it as for some bizzare reason it keeps popping flames out the top (i have no air filter on it have a new K&N to go on to it) any way back to the first point, any one know of the reason for the cut out ? is really annoying if i try to rev it to keep it running it just dies also again, but i have noticed that the fuel keeps going to match the throttle position if that helps at all, any ideas would be helpful,
cheers
