mcfriz Member 9 Member For: 14y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 26/04/11 04:57 AM Share Posted 26/04/11 04:57 AM hey all, so I have a 2003 BA xr6 turbo mk1 auto, it currently has 118xxx kms on the clock and recently whenever im sitting at idle in neutral the engine seems to sound like it kinda half stops running, not firing to the point where it just about stalls itself. the only way to stop it ive found is to give it a bit of a kick on the accellerator. any suggestions what I might need to look at?? also same situation sitting in idle in drive it starts vibrating the whole car. yes I may sound like an idiot but hey id prefer to ask and get fixed as opposed to wreck the car completely. thanks.

Is this related to McFriz's idle problem? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74514-my-ba-is-misbehaving/#findComment-1101290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its time to check clamps/bolts while I'm at it anyway.
