Hi I have the same car and same problem. When it's cold it feels almost like it's miss firing when at idol. I have had the throttle body decarbonised and ecu setting reset by Ford. This has not fixed the problem and no fault codes were detected. Have you had yours fixed. If so what was wrong. If you can drop me a line at normevans66@optusnet.com.au that would be great. Thanks Mike

I have a BA11 series two XR6 turbo 6spd manual. travelled approx 140,000 k's. It has an intermittent fault where the engine appears to almost cut out when under load. at first it would happen if for example if the car was in top gear and travelling at approx 90kmph I would drop back into fouth and plant the foot. as soon as the revs climb to approx 4000 the power would cut out completely until you removed the foot from the accelerator pedal and then the power would restore. and no time does an engine light etc illuminate. the problem appears to be geeting worse. Now when accelerating from a standing start as soon as RPM hits about 4000 the power cuts and while I hold the accelerator pedal down the power cuts back in for a micro second and cuts back out again until the the pedal is released. Also when the power cuts out there is a noise which sounds like a bang. I took it to Ford and surprise surprise they could find nothing. They said that dianostics revealed no fault codes and that it is pulling like a freight train. Could anyone provide me with a suggestion as to what the problem could be.

I have a BAII xr6t speed manual that has now done just over 60000 k's. Recently an odd noise has developed which occurs at about 2000rpm upwards. if you can imagine the sound you'd expect to hear if you had a leaky manifold gasket that's pretty much it. Also now there is turbo flutter on almost every gear change since the noise begun. Ford checked it out on my last service and could not find a problem. Any ideas ?.....Mike.
