Now it seems like it is running on 5 cylinders. I have blown the engine bay with compressed air and now its sitting in the sun with the bonnet up. Any ideas????????Any advice would be greatly appreciated. CheersCowie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20129-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be one of the injector connectors or one of the coil pack conectors.Good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20129-need-help/#findComment-295222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 11m Location: On the edge Posted 17/09/05 04:48 AM Share Posted 17/09/05 04:48 AM Look behind the Left hand headlight and you will find 2 connectors.Unplug them and make sure they're dry.Washing the engines in these vehicles normally doesnt bother them since they don't have distributors any more.Have seen a few with moisture in these connectors that effects the running.(Can even make them not start at all) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20129-need-help/#findComment-295237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
