Hi there

I need some advice please?

I got an 04 BA xr6 turbo 5sp.

Am having a problem where the engine idles rough.

It drops to 400 rpm and bounced up/down and sometimes stalls when I pull the car up at lights etc.

It's worse when The engine is cold or cold morning or night.

Got it on a computer and got the following ecu error codes.

1131

1132

1057

0325

any ideas?

P1131 Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean

P1132 Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Rich

P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction

P1057 is TCM fault code

I think.

Thanks

I've had one popular tuning workshop telling me that I need to get it on the dyno and get it tuned because as the car gets older parts arent functioning at 100% anymore and you can not adjust the factory tune. He also says they dont use the codes from the ECU because often they are a side effect of another problem. This is going to cost over $1K.

Someone else must have had similar problems??

Hi

I have the same car and same problem. When it's cold it feels almost like it's miss firing when at idol. I have had the throttle body decarbonised and ecu setting reset by Ford. This has not fixed the problem and no fault codes were detected. Have you had yours fixed. If so what was wrong. If you can drop me a line at normevans66@optusnet.com.au that would be great.

Thanks

Mike

This was an issue on both the xr6t and xr8 first gens. I had both 03 models of xr8 and xr6t at the time and my xr8 always had low idle/stalling problems but the turbo was fine.

Apart from cleaning throttle bodies which was a temporary fix another way was to drill a 1-2mm hole in the butterfly. This raised the rpm by 50 but sometimes was enough to fix that range where the car was hunting/stalling or just being stupid!

My fix for the xr8 was to add fuel with my piggy back ecu that I had attached but sometimes the car would still hunt.

Most people now a days just get there cars tuned with the flash tuner software which raises the idle rpm up so there is no probs.

Try the drilling of the 1-2mm hole first as its as simple as a tack weld to seal it up if this doesn't work, otherwise get a tune.

good luck
