Now the car even misses a few times up near the 4000rpm range and it still seems like there is no boost. Looks like it's off to the mechanics next week.

Guest Boony_1981 Guests Posted 18/02/07 11:11 AM Share Posted 18/02/07 11:11 AM Well I'll let you all know what the problem was when I get to the friendly mechanics. I'm going to get them to check the spark plugs and boost pressure for leaks. I'm not sure what else it could be.....unless the computer is all screwed up (and I really don't want to take it back to ford to get the factory ECU loaded).

If the tune is reset to factory not by your flasher, but is flashed by the dealers big troubles $$$ Your flasher will have to be returned to CAPA to be reset.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boony_1981 Member 32 Member For: 17y 9m 8d Location: Townsville Posted 26/02/07 11:36 PM Share Posted 26/02/07 11:36 PM Well I finally took my car to the mechanics, and after 7 hours on the dyno he could not find the problem. For some reason the car is only getting to 2 psi on boost, once or twice it got up to 5. He changed the spark plugs and pressure tested everything, still no problem found.He suspects that the ECU is corrupt so my car is booked into Ford tomorrow to get the ECU factory re-flashed. The question now is: Who can I get to clear all tunes out of the capa flash tuner and install the generic xr6t tunes? So that when I load a new generic tune my new factory tune gets stored in the flash tuner. Can custom tuners with the capa software do this without having to send it back to capa?

Even tried new boost solenoid too and that didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
