willow Member 11 Member For: 18y 4m 2d Posted 05/10/06 09:01 AM Share Posted 05/10/06 09:01 AM just bought an 03 xr6 turbo and is wondering if anyone has experiencd an unstable idle/slight miss? have taken it to ford 3 times to rectify and they just cleared the KAN and said it was ok but the miss is still there. A friend told me all xr6's (turbo or non turbo) have a rough idle. is this true or is there something else going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow Member 11 Member For: 18y 4m 2d Posted 05/10/06 09:52 AM Author Share Posted 05/10/06 09:52 AM It happens all the time, more so when at NOT, not on start-up more than likely because of the higher idle on cold start, it's not too bad but is enough to shake the car every so often and pop out the exhaust. Coould it be a carbon problem in an IAC valve or T body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 05/10/06 10:26 AM Share Posted 05/10/06 10:26 AM I'd say it happens to me once or twice every six months or so. Usually after getting a glimpse of just getting warmed up (~4-5km or so) and sitting at a set of lights. You know what's going on because you begin to get that V8 idle lope feeling so you just round the foot off the break and on the go pedel which usually sorts it out.
