Stopped and car was idling BAD. sounded like only running on 4cyls.Give it a rev and revved different too. Took off from lights as cars all around me I couldnt stop and all of a sudden it came good.I remember a while ago a drive a mates Ba series 1 xr6t ute. As we pulling into his garage it done the same thing but I think his done it worse. tunred key off and started it fine.Any ideas what this is. is it a recognised problem from ford?By the way mine is a series 2 xr6t sedan manual.CheersMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a full inspection on Sat so will let you know what the mechanic says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
