coils or plugs or filter will csause this under boost as the engine is demanding more fuel and a stronger spark so do plugs, filter and if still not fixed consider doing the coils. unlikely to be the turbz mate

there is no "idle up sensor" the throttle is electronically controlled and idle is controlled by the throttle butterfly being opened more, throttle bodyy clean is first but we have had several falcons from ford do the same and has ended up being the TPS flipping out, and I have had one that the throttle motor failed causing it. and I have also heard of the wirin gbehind the head being a prob 2. so there is several probs I no of so I doubt there is a universal fix for it

(if dual zone u will have 2 short rods an extra step is required, remove the servo motor on the drivers side and slide your extra rod out the drivers side) 42.) fit the new rod(rods) with the same care to remove 43.)once your happy with the rod fitment, making sure the flap edges(bushes) are located in the heater box sides, reassemble the box 44.) once box is re assembled fit the HIM with the gear drive pushed left to the disengauge position 45.) refit HIM allowing the control rods to fit to the flaps they opperate corectly. 46.) lift the heater flaps u just fixed up so they are in the full hot postition(up and forwassd so heater core is visible) and then push the HIM drive gear right so it engauges the rod( dont worry if it doesnt line up perfect the HIM will self test and align its sefl anyway. 47.) REFIT in reverse order the DASH etc 48.) remomber to refit the ICC connectors in reverse of removal, replug the lower plugs left to right. 49.) when its all back together connect the battery and opperate as usual the HIM should self test and adjust itself as required. 50.) if u fitted a New HIM take the car to a sparky or ford to have it programmed to your car BEER The HIM is the same part regardless of model variant it is just coded differantly. ill post part numbers soon but any ford dealer should know them:) If Mods wanna make this sticky I can modify when I do picks next time I do one that will make it much easier than starting from scratch if I left anything out please let me no:) tools required phillips head screw driver 8mm Socket 10mm Socket pik or flat screw driver 6mm allen key maybe an adjustable rench to remove shifter if manual 10mm spanner(battery)
