Took the old coil to Ford and they say they will credit the cost when they send it in for warranty..

No worries, and he found the problem in like 2 seconds. Something was escaping between the throttle body and the cross over pipe. They didn't have any spare ducts around, so he tightened it up and told me to get it replaced when I got to Canberra. Is working fine now :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13583-no-5-not-alive/page/3/#findComment-180815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
