jnr Member 48 Member For: 21y 1m 11d Location: Hills District Posted 14/02/05 05:11 AM Share Posted 14/02/05 05:11 AM I've been a member on this site for 12 months now & I have read many tips to improve or fix the XR6T. For my mind there have been too many fixes but I guess having the help there is better than nothing.Anyway I have had rough idling & stalling on my T for 3 weeks now ( Oct 03 with 20k ) & on Sunday I decided to do something about it. Previously I have read a post that spoke about carbon build up in the intake to the engine thingy where there is a butterfly flap thingy. I cant quite recall what everything is called so as you can see I'm not that technically minded....however !I pulled off the airfilter piping , the piping from the turbo into the big black thing that sits on top of the motor , & then managed to get to the intake. Whilst I was loosening the clamps on the piping from the turbo before I could do 1 rotation of the screw the piping fell off. Wasn't I surprised ! I noticed a little tiny bit of oil at the flange that connects to the turbo , but not enough to be concerned about .... I think ?Well the post was right , there was black 5hit all over the butterfly flap & the walls of the intake. I cleaned it up with a rag & took special care not to drop any crap down the intake. Put all the piping back on & tightened all the clamps properly. Not the way Ford did. I did it properly.Anyway the rough idling is gone & I can feel considerable increase in performance. There's no stalling & I am again a happy camper.I guess the reason I posted the results was1. To show others that the rough idling might be from the carbon build up & loose piping. To help.2. To thank the person who originally posted the fix. Thanks !3. And to once again complain about the build quality of my T , thanks to Ford. Never again !

The manual XR8 does it 2 to 3 times every time I drive it, and the Turbo only occasionally being an auto but idles shocking.Brett.

I have cleaned mine twice . Once at 25k and again at 40k , and no rough idle. Sounds like yours is ECU related.Maybe time for an edit Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15667-rough-idling-stalling/#findComment-219351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
