Natepsi Member 2 Member For: 12y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/08/12 09:14 AM Share Posted 15/08/12 09:14 AM Ive had this ongoing problem with my ute, sometimes when I start the car the idle speed goes up and down constantly between 1500rpm and 0, I switch off the car and start it again and its usually ok. also this happens when driving, I will be cruising on 80-100kmh when the engine light comes on and I lose all power and cant go any faster than 40kmh with foot to the boards. I had the car at ford yesterday and they replaced the number 1 coil pack and tightened up all the vaccum hoses etc and said that that was the problem, however it was not the problem as it happened to me three times today, if anyone could help me out here it would be much appreciated as I am getting sick off this problem and two mechanics now have not been able to fix it. Also looking for a good mechanic in the melbourne area, I seem to be finding all the duds that know nothing about turbos. PLEASE HELP, cheers, Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
