When I start it up when its cold in the mornings, it struggles starting, and for the first 10 seconds of idling, it sounds like it has a GIGANTIC cam in it, like abolutely massive. Then it chills out and its fine... Not sure what that is either? Starts first time everytime but when its cold it ticks over 1 or 2 times more than it should before turning on.

Has it always done this since it was tuned/modified or has it just randomly started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck getting it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as always, always a bit unhappy on start up, until its warm. Engine/gearbox, all of it is unhappy if I don't warm it up for 5 minutes, real jumpy, hard clunky gear changes, but smooth as anything otherwise. Unfortunately I bought it modded so can't comment as to when it started doing this.I've driven a few other F6's/XR6T's lately, with more power than mine, like around 500rwhp, and mine is apparently 330rwkw (442rwhp?). But nothing has been as fast as mine, its got the best top end I've ever seen in a street car in my life. I left a new ferrari in the dust from 80-160 the other day on the freeway (it went from me looking at his car with amazement to the other way around haha). I know every dyno is different, but I just can't understand, I just reckon they guessed the power, as I've never had it on the dyno, but as I said its a machine compared to everything else I've driven. Anyways, it still has that "leaking" sound, but because of the performance I just can't believe that its actually leaking, or I'd most definitely notice a loss of performance.I did the boost solenoid with my brother on his XR6T the other day (member NVT) and some other bits and bobs so I'll start with that probably but apart from that I'm not gonna guess and buy everything until I figure it out, I'll take it to XFT. In the mean time if anyone has any ideas feel free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
