Ford checked for fault codes and it only said clutch slip.Water contamination does cause hunting too, riptide had it, his was all the time though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76845-zf-serviced/page/9/#findComment-1235537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy to diagnose over the net. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76845-zf-serviced/page/9/#findComment-1235559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the title of the other thread was correct.I used the genuine oil for my service and will continue to do so. Not worth the risk not to IMO.

Paulie2256 Donating Members 7,441 Member For: 16y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 12/05/12 01:20 AM Share Posted 12/05/12 01:20 AM (edited) The rich cycle is open loop and it bypasses the o2 sensor and runs a different fuel map. Since its a static map, revvs shouldn't hunt. Not sure if our map sensor and coolant temp is used to calculate AFR in this case but if they are the. Maybe one of those is faulty.
