Trent0 The Toxic Rocket Donating Members 574 Member For: 15y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 09/04/17 02:42 AM Author Share Posted 09/04/17 02:42 AM I've bwwn having an issue with the ute the past few weeks. It has big misses randomly while cruising and occasionally turns itself off. It can be nesr on impossible to start afterwards where I can nearly flatten the battery trying. Plugs are new. Coils are about 50,000km old. The xcal shows cam sensor faults in bank a and b. I've pulled the tappet cover off and checked the cam phasors, they look alright (had an issue with one a few years back). I'm guessing I'll need to change the coils but would a dud coil explain the car tuening itself off?

I need boiling water to start it when cold :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81728-5rwkw-na-turbo-conversion/page/37/#findComment-1636728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process sounds quite stream lined and smart. It's expensive though.

The negative terminal was loose/buggered and the battery needed a good trickle charge for 24hrs. She starts beautifully now and in this cold weather starts without hesitation 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81728-5rwkw-na-turbo-conversion/page/37/#findComment-1640682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
