blacksheep Member 12 Member For: 17y 1m 30d Posted 20/10/08 03:54 AM Share Posted 20/10/08 03:54 AM Hey blokes, I've had my car (BA MKII XR6T with growler air intake and generic 14psi flash tune) for 2 years now, haven't had any real problems, just need to replace spark plugs every now and then when she's running a bit rough. However, I overtook a truck yesterday and the second I came off the throttle the car turned off!!!! No big drama, I was going fast enough to get off the road safely etc... But I have no idea why it did it, as soon as I pulled over and turned the ignition off and tried it again it restarted and hasn't missed a beat, anyone else had this??

Best bet would be to get it on the dyno and check AFR's, boost levels, etc. The only thing I can think of is you hit boost cut and the car stalled, again all can be determined on a dyno run. I strongly suggest getting your car custom tuned. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50877-turned-herself-off/#findComment-752585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 20/10/08 04:15 AM Share Posted 20/10/08 04:15 AM If it's a 10psi tune & spiking to 14 with standard injectors I'd be putting it on a dyno asap! That's most likely your problem as the car would of hit limp mode.

blacksheep Member 12 Member For: 17y 1m 30d Posted 20/10/08 04:55 AM Author Share Posted 20/10/08 04:55 AM Admittedly I haven't even looked at the flash since I put it in, it may be 10 psi, not 14... I understand you blokes don't like the generic tunes, but I've had this one for over a year now and it's never missed a beat, do you still think it's the tune?

Although you may have been running this generic for a while, members on here have run generic tunes for quite some time then all of a sudden BANG its all over. Its cheap insurance mate and better to be safe than sorry.
