You mean engine revs go up and down? Mine does that for a few seconds and then stays normal. Sometimes (quite often actually) when the car is still cold and you change from park to reverse the engine revs wil go up considerably, sorta hard to explain.

I need to get in and have it checked as I talked with the service guy and he said there was some sort of computer upgrade that should hopefully sort it out???.Have created another thread regarding the pinging, sorry, would have linked it in here but have no mouse (try surfing with out a mouse!) but if you search for "towing pinging" you should find it.

Guest Guests Posted 11/08/03 09:31 PM Share Posted 11/08/03 09:31 PM Could it be that your AC is on ?I know sometimes I start mine and AC is on, also it does rev a little higher on startup Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5369-engine-throb-on-start-up/#findComment-42487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
