My son has a ford xr6 turbo ba 04 model, It has a rough idle when stationary at lights or corners. I have a new battery in it and was told that if you change the battery you need to get the car reset, spoke to ford and told not the case. Ended up putting the car in at ford penrith and they said I needed to change engine mount, done this and still no good. Long story but the guys at ford told me nothing but on the paperwork I noticed that the cam sensor is burnt , could someone please tell me where this is on the car and how to fix. im no mechanic but im pretty cluey and will have a go if not too hard.This is really driving me crazy, the car runs great aside from the idle. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 24/11/11 09:23 PM Share Posted 24/11/11 09:23 PM Would injectors getting a bit old cause a rough idle? Again what was said above you are better taking it to someone in the know.. Especially since its an 04 model people might give you all kinds of wonderful solutions which could hurt the pocket.

Either go to Cresent Motorsport (Liverpool) or Autotech(Granville) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so could be valve springs. otherwise id check the coils for cracks and also the spark plugs. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it hunting a lot? might be worthwhile to replace the throttle position sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still isn't perfect, and apparently until I actually replace injectors it will stay that way.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
