TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 10m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 25/08/12 02:42 AM Share Posted 25/08/12 02:42 AM So the other night, Not too sure what happened, but it seemed to hit boost cut and then run like sh*t. Coughing and spluttering, then the car stalled. After I started it, it ran like sh*t for a bit more and the smell of fuel was overpowering!But then after about 10 seconds of spluttering it went fine and ran beautifully.Suggestions on why it ran rich after full boost ? or even boost cut ? I'm starting to think that my actuator is sticking!I haven't really come onto boost after that, Not that I even drive the thing past 1/4 throttle anymore.

Never done it on the 12 pound tune until the other night. But it's only ever done it once. Will the tuner be able to pick it up straight away? Cause I can't afford too much time off work.

It was on boost fine then dropped all boost down to about 2 psi then ran like sh*t for 5 seconds then was fine and has been since. Been on boost a few times tonight. Only did it at about 5500rpm. Most of the time I shift at 5000rpm. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81619-running-rich-after-full-boost/#findComment-1285158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 10m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 28/08/12 08:20 PM Author Share Posted 28/08/12 08:20 PM Valve springs were changed in 2005. 4" dump 5"cat 3.5" mandral all the way. Now it's doing it in any gear. I boot it, gets to about 5000rpm then hits like a safe mode. Sounds like it runs on 4 cylinders. Then idles at 250 rpm untill it runs fine again. Also looses 3 psi of boost when it runs funny on a full load.
