Matt_971 Member 41 Member For: 16y 7m 18d Posted 08/09/08 12:39 PM Share Posted 08/09/08 12:39 PM Hey guysThink this has something to do with the weird idle problem I wrote about recently.Was crusing in car other day in 3rd around the 2000rpm mark (6 speed manual). booted it to overtake a car and it got to about 3000rpm n cut out. Started running like it was on 2 cyls. If I clutch it and give it a rev cleans up but does same thing again around 3000rpm.Now the weird part is. If I drop back a gear and revs go over 3k it will rev and pull perfectly all the way through rev range.And tried recently from stand still WOT through as many gears as I could (private road ofcourse) and it went perfect. No splutter no cut out nothing.Any ideas.CheersMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is dead stock no mods what so ever. so isnt a tune or nefin.Is weird I find that if ya pin it at 2k it will cut around 3k. but from idle it will rev right out. no issues whatso ever through all gears (or as many as I could without breaking land speed record lol)Might go get it checked out at ford soon and let yas know whats going on.CheersMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
