Uridium's are a waste IMO Pete Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36930-popping/page/2/#findComment-559826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 1m 24d Posted 31/07/07 11:22 AM Share Posted 31/07/07 11:22 AM I had the same issue with my car, changed the plugs (which were a bit stuffed to say the least, they looked like the originals the car came with from Ford) car performed better but the problem did not go away. A different tuner did a complete retune of the car and that issue with a host of others went away. I would also be looking at the possibility that there might be something in the tune, not sure what it is, just my experience.

How do you mean something in the tune, I have been on the same custom tune for over 3 months with no problem till now.The change of gearbox was fine with no problem till approx 2 weeks later.I have reflashed the tune aswell with no change.Might try the soft tune to see if that makes a differance.Another thing I hadn't thought about is how long do the O2 sensors last and could a faulty sensor cause these random playing up?Prior to doing the exhaust every now and then I would start car and it would run a little rough and you give it some throttle to clear it and no revs, turn it bnack off and restart and all is fine.This has not happened since the fittment of the x-force system approx 2 months ago.This I feel is maybe a sticky fuel regulator or fuel pump or could it be a O2 sensor sensor problem.Maybe the exhaust shop cleaned it hence no more start up problem.Maybe it's this little gremlim showing it's head again and getting worse but at 10+ psi.have I mentioned if you nail it once it passes 10psi it pops but if you get off it and then on again it clears and runs clean.So what I gather it is doing it when it is under extreme load and over 10psi.Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend coming as I want to get to the bottom of it.Anyone Logan local who has a dianostic scanner please let me know as this may save me hours of fault checking.Or can someone point me in a direction to getting one that is proven compatable with a BA XR6 T.I have been thinking of purchasing a Sniper tune box and software with there dianostic scanner, has anyone got one to let me know if it is as good as they claim.

Just thought I might give you a possible avenue to look down.
