I checked the oil today, and its perfect. It must have been because it half cranked over and then died. Its had trouble starting ever since gapping the plugs to .75 Although, I wouldn't say that starting it is hard.. it some times just doesn't always kick over on first crank. Cheers for the replies guys, I'm guessing I got nothing major to worry about ←now why doesnt it start on the first go? whats up with that?? might be worth looking into Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27679-4-beeps-after-trying-to-start-the-car/page/2/#findComment-421659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am doing is not holding the key long enough. Its no the cars fault! Its mine!

(engine cranking)I can hear the fuel pumps priming the system. (I have an aux inline pump)When the fuel pumps stop is when I crank the engine over.No problems.... starts every time.tom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27679-4-beeps-after-trying-to-start-the-car/page/2/#findComment-421770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the new injected LPG conversion kits are about $3500 fitted and no power loss with a 10% fuel usage increase on LPG. Something worth looking at ←No system big enough yet to run the turbo with injected system.There is old style system that are bigger enough but they will not be adr and emissions complaint so are illegal.Ian←there is a gas system that uses dual fuelgas for normal power levels and petrol for when max power is required changes as you go.←Happened to me today in my T. Just finished a drive down to Bunbury ( 2 hours south of Perth ) and had a meeting that went for 2 hours - got back in and would not start the first or second time - then those fourbeeps!This has happed three or four times now - T is due for 60k service + I'll let them try and fix it!

Now I pause on everything I drive.If you let the key go part way through turning the engine over and it dies, good luck starting with out sounding like a taxi that won't catch for the next 30sec. It says in the manual to let the car sit for 10seconds before trying to turn it over again so the ignition system can sort it self out.
