I have this problem too on my FG XR6 Turbo with 9000km. Not horrible but you can definately feel a misfiring type of stutter randomly every now and then.... even when warm.

My dealer says all FG Turbo's do it, doesn't seem to be the smoothest idling car I can say.

I talked to some performance shops and they agreed and that it also could be made to idle smoother by doing some tuning.

my fg g6et has never idled good always a bit lumpy, a good throttle body service helped. Had everything checked all perfect but he said fgs arent the best when at idle.

How many KM did yours have on it mate?

I wonder if any places in Perth can offer a service just to Re-Tune the idle areas of the map for those who just want to get their cars idling smoother.... and whether you have to purchase a complete

SCT Flash Box for that or is there other ways it can be done?

Pretty much if my FG Idled well I'd be happy with it for ages

I bought it at 45000kms and it had the bad idle I took it to ford and they went over it and reset and updated the computer and it was alot better but still not great. took it to a local tuner and he serviced it and did a throttle body clean/new fuel filter and its been okay since then it doesnt idle as good as the ba it replaced but a heap better than when I got it.

If you can be bothered, I can do a quick idle datalog and tell you if there are any obvious problems that might be causing a bad idle. PM if you're interested.
