I didn't think much of it as I thought it was a dirty throttle body. Anyway, changed back to BP Ultimate98, and the problem went away totally....hmmmmm I thought, wonder if it was the fuel.Sunday I went back to Boost98 from United again cos of the price, and guess what?? The cutting out started again.What fuel are you using now and what were you using?Try BP Ultimate.I'll be still using the Boost98 on long trips though, it's 10c/ltr cheaper.T.

Grey_Xr6t Member 12 Member For: 17y 9m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 12/04/07 05:06 AM Share Posted 12/04/07 05:06 AM I had a similar issue, on cold start up the car would idle extremely rough and when I accelerated for the first time the car would loose all power and revs would go down to about 500rpm as if it was going to stall and then behave perfectly. As the car is under warranty I took it to ford who said they "cleaned" the throttle body when I got home I inspected it myself and it was still pretty dirty behind the butterfly (lazy buggers) anyway I cleaned it again and the issue went away.On the topic of fuels I first used Caltex premium the car felt very sluggish and I got about 330km to a full tank swapped to BP ultimate and now the car has a lot more response and I get around 420kms off a tank (but maybe my initial turbo excitement wore off ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
