You get all kinds of random crap cropping up when something as simple as an earth isnt working well enough (kinda like Airbus aircraft, very tempremental about power).

Will not have anything to do with the coils or tps Was going to suggest that when I first noticed this thread...but figured I'd leave it for you. But yeah get the battery tested/swapped before you waste money on anything else.

So im pretty sure its gonna be earthing or something more serious :/ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81317-speedo-randomly-stopping-and-starting-bf-mkii-xr6-turbo/page/3/#findComment-1276289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just push it back in hard to make sure its connected properly and ensure everything connected at the bottom is in properly.The TPS will throw an error code which you should be able to pick up on your new device Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81317-speedo-randomly-stopping-and-starting-bf-mkii-xr6-turbo/page/3/#findComment-1276312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
