My son has one in the shed off his EB XR8.

You might save a buck. As Jeff said, it's best to goto Ford and get it diagnosed, they'll tell you what part it is straight away. I've been down the track of changing 'suspect' parts, it's a costly exercise. As mentioned, it could also be the fuel pump or it could be faulty throttle position sensor, egr valve or maybe just an airleak in the crakcase. Good luck with it.Rob Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19004-help-with-the-sprint-please/page/2/#findComment-276011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange things lately include:*Engine hunting at idle for a few seconds, generally at startup, between about 400 and 800 revs. (This happened before the chip)You sure George didn't put a BA pcm in it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19004-help-with-the-sprint-please/page/2/#findComment-276026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 25/07/05 11:09 PM Share Posted 25/07/05 11:09 PM LP,Another thought is that it could be a fuel filter. With all the driving he may have got a bad tank of fuel and its clogged up the filter.I would take it to Ford and get them to tell you what codes are being thrown up. You should reset the ECU bvy unplugging the battery for a few minutes and then have a drive arund to get it to fault. Take it to the dealer and this should tell you where the problem is. If you go in there with the ECU not reset, you may have 4 years of codes to go through.I still think its the AFM Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19004-help-with-the-sprint-please/page/2/#findComment-276034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 22y 3m 27d Posted 25/07/05 11:16 PM Share Posted 25/07/05 11:16 PM Unplug the 'chip' from the J-Port on the back of the PCM and test drive. A poor connection here will give those exact same symptoms.
