I got given the big mouth kit to fit my G6ET on Wednesday, fitted it, all good. Drove it around for work for 2 days with no issues. Then last night I noticed the engine revving weird like it hunting when driving, making a funny sound almost like little back fires, and when siting on 100ks revs meter going up and down like its trying to change gears. Now I'm pretty sure that this must be the computer trying to adjust to now having so much more air coming in, but from what I have read the computer normally learns within 500ks or so. I've done at least 600+ ks since I've had it installed and its still running like a bag of sh*t. Any ideas??? Is it worth resetting the computer?? Am I doing any damage to the engine driving it around like this, because it doesn't sound healthy?Any help would be appreciated!

I think your problem may be something else.. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83334-ss-big-mouth-intake-issue/#findComment-1340861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not remove the big mouth kit and see if it makes a difference.

Hope its not but an easy check to see if it is.

DR1 Member 4 Member For: 13y 11m 15d Posted 25/12/12 05:21 AM Share Posted 25/12/12 05:21 AM Given that yours is an '09 and if you didn't purchase extended warranty, it's going to be expensive, your trans will likely need to be rebuilt or replaced. Don't drive it, you risk further damage. Merry christmas indeed.
