josh19 Member 2 Member For: 16y 8m 11d Posted 06/03/08 05:39 AM Share Posted 06/03/08 05:39 AM Hi guys, I have recently bought a xr6 turbo ute and when I put my foot down the car will 'jolt' and not come into boost properly. It doesnt happen all the time but when it does it p***** me off!!! Also the other day I turned on the car and started driving and stopped at an intersection and it completely cut out and wouldnt start. Gave it a couple of minutes and it started again and drove perfect. I have taken it to mechanics, a genuine ford dealer and they cannot find a thing. Thanks, please reply to this or to josh_hos@hotmail.com not the email supplied on here. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id look at cleaning the TB, reset the ECU, lube the boost solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car only has 60000k's on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
