Guest markytheman Guests Posted 30/12/10 05:19 AM Share Posted 30/12/10 05:19 AM I live near Sydney airport, Tunehouse seems to be the pick around the area, but I cant understand why I cant get my factory car to stop stalling.Another thing if I start the car and put it in drive straight after the engine fires up and before the engine revs come down to idle it will stall, Is this normal? I have never had a car that did this. I sometimes do it if I'm in a rush.mate just take it to the tunehouse mate. jim will make it a better car.. GO TUNEHOUSE I SAY..

The car has been flagged for warranty issues so get a good tune and enjoy the car.My previous car had similar issues and got the air/fuel mixture changed via a tune and the fuel pump got changed. Car was BA XR6T auto with 322rwkw. This thing would stall while driving but yours sounds a bit different. Tune it and enjoy it I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And leave it there without the keys...Block access to everything... And say fix it f*ckers... Including the 'no warranty flag'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't going to mod then take it back to Ford and stick it to them. If you plan on adding mods and making your car really amazing (hint hint) then I'd save yourself the pain and take it straight to Tunehouse. You'll drive out of there with a huge smile on your face, just experienced much better service than Ford will ever offer and never take your car back to Ford in the future.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
