Was interesting to see that once I installed the new battery the settings I had on my eboost were causing it boost higher then before. I had to lower the gate pressure from 50 to 40 to take it back down to 12lb And my 16lb setting was at 75, now ive had to lower it to 65 to achieve 16lb. Not sure why? Possibly reading a different amperage/voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I rarely drive the car I just avoided boosting too much and then when it occurred it just reminded me to "look into the issue" which was promptly put on the back burner until the next time I drove it. Initially I thought I have fixed it with the purchase of a new battery as the old one was stuffed due to the car sitting for so long. Problem was gone for a month or so and then came back. I noticed the problem right after I have the car tuned with new injectors and also after I relocated the battery. Thought it might have been something not right after the mods, maybe a bad earth or loose plug etc? Rechecked every thing and it all looked good. The problem progressively got worse over the years to the point when even with slight boost (8 or so PSI) and accelerating under load like up a hill or with passengers - it would hit hard.Today I changed the coils for new genuine ford ones and also fitted new plugs. Took it out for a test drive and put my foot to the floor - no issues, just kept pulling like it used to right after the tune.I doubt it was the plugs as the "old" ones were new right before the tune, so I conclude the problem was coils.
