Sometimes the car will start rough or fire and stall then be a bit hard to start. once started I get some fuelly smoke out the exhaust. Seems as if it could be flooding slightly somehow??Anyone had a similiar problem before?Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66740-rough-start-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought id see if anyone has had a simliar issue.Im getting new plugs asap anyway because I have a flash tuner with generic tunes and realise some properly gapped plugs would be needed. Does anyone know the best plug off the top of their head?? What sort of gapping would be optimal too?I would do some in depth research etc. but really dont have the time lately :(Plugs could be 68 000ks old for all I know, I have driven 8000ks and its only recently started doing it.Along with another annoyance grrrrrr. Im getting a flapping noise under full boost (5/6psi hahaha) in 1st and 2nd gear. very odd noise. not like pinging or anything though.
