In the mornings my XR6T keeps turning off whilst warming up. No warning lights come on the dash, no beeps, it just stops running...Its happened twice now and I have no idea what could be causing it I.e. fuel or sensor etc.When driving at norm temp its perfect with no stalling but can occasionally idle rough. My car is a BA MkII 6 speed manual.Has anyone else had this problem? I would like to get an idea of what it could be before going to Ford. I still have warranty until April 09.Apart from that still loving the T.Thanks for the help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my old AU XR6 when I changed the battery it would idle pretty low and come close to stalling and would do that till the computer fixed itself. How is the car idling st startup would you say it's lower then normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely taking to Fraud though as the issue may start to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for these on here as there have been many posts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a BA 04 4speed and have had this happen it occured twice but each time it happened was a few days( like 2-3 ) after having removed the battery. So if u have removed your battery or have had it go dead then this might be it. Like I said, it happened twice and then it stopped occuring.Might have something to do with it, if not, then I hope it isnt to serious :(Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
