Hey folks new to the site and also new to being a ford owner.

I've recently purchased a ba xr6t ute for work. It's full factory with 135,000 on the clock. It has a good service history as well.

There's a problem after boost with it stalling (say at a set of traffic lights).the turbo will go till about 4thou ish then lag/cut out.

I took it to my local mechanic and he said mechanically it's quite good, but advised me to take it to an auto elec.

The dealership sent me to a ultra tune where they apparently cleaned the throttle body and reset the computer.

Even after doing this within 24hrs the car was playing up again..

Any advice, ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Cheers

Usually its just the throttle body that needs cleaning....But seeing they already did that do the following things in this order.....

1. Double check they actually did clean the throttle body (that's free at least)

2. Check wires comming from the back of the rocker cover that control the cam timming. They can melt to the point were they sort of arc out on each other! (also free unless you use an auto sparky)

3. replace throttle position sensor. (attatched to throttle body, about 70 bucks on ebay)

4. replace 02 sensor (about the same price on ebay....make sure its a NTK)

5. If you havent already.....replace your coil packs (approx 150 ebay)

Good luck

My BA has had idle issues for different reasons. The first was tired valve springs and fixed with atomic replacements. Forward 2 yrs and another idle problem and not spring related. My tuner has smoothed it out after spending heaps of his own time on the dyno as well checking every thing from injectors, plugs, compression, etc. and haven't had it stall since. Currently running a detuned APS stage 3 (330 rwkw) until I upgrade the short block and will replace the ECU as the likely culprit.
