SilverSurfer200 Member 3 Member For: 15y 9m 28d Posted 26/07/09 03:15 PM Share Posted 26/07/09 03:15 PM Picked up my car and as you do with a new toy you give it a bit of a flogging.Now the car runs perfect except for when I accelarate heavily up to about 5000 rpm the car begins to surge. It feels like its bunny hopping.When it does this I lose all power until I change gears and the revs are taken back down. Back up to 5000rpm and it happens again.Any ideas on what this problem could be or has any experienced this?It is a 2005 BA MKII F6 Typhoon. 6 speed obviously.

Flooring it with low fuel levels in these cars (aka less than half to a third of a tank) can cause fuel-surge where the engine is momentarily starved of fuel. It's potentially destructive...if the fuel pickup is exposed long enough to grab a big enough gulp of air your engine could end up going bang Hopefully it's something as simple as that, BTW Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60027-car-surging-under-heavy-acceleration/#findComment-912427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was as simple as changing the spark plugs for me. Problem solved.
