Might help you to diagnose this by putting it on the dyno for a power run and see what your AFRs are like, you will also find you will be down on power. That sort of fuel economy should not be tolerated. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26136-weird/page/4/#findComment-394353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
