adie Not pregnant Donating Members 2,238 Member For: 13y 5m 11d Gender: Female Location: Melbourne Posted 21/12/11 10:42 PM Share Posted 21/12/11 10:42 PM I've tried doing a search on this on the forum already, but its been a bit difficult because I'm still new to these cars, and am not quite sure what I should be searching.Anyway, every now and then when I start my car, before I even get a chance to take the handbreak off it backfires, and stalls. When I start it again its fine, though occasionally the speedo (only the speedo - not he tacho or anything else in the cluster) stops working, and wont work again until I turn the car off and back on again.Its a BF mkII XR6T with the 6sp manual.Would love to know whats causing this as its pissing me off. The car is due for a service, but I've been having a lot of trouble finding a mechanic who I can trust (epic issues with my last car).Thanks in advance!

It also used to turn over once, and then stop. I added another earth strap to the starter and I didnt have another backfire. 12 months later the starter motor died. Could be all coincidence.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 3m 19d Posted 17/01/12 03:14 AM Share Posted 17/01/12 03:14 AM My guess would be Battery,bad main earths or Excessive starter current draw. Start with a battery test. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78257-car-stalling-at-startup/#findComment-1181913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
