So stalled it up, didnt take TC off as I wasnt intending on doing anything too dramatic.. Took off, TC kicked in so I backed off a bit, then nailed it... After that and till now, everytime I nail it, it feels like TC is coming on, the TC light doesnt come on its just feels like it, kinda farts, jerks around a bit and drops power.. I spoke to someone who said it maybe my tyre pressures were off and the car was sensing it and applying the TC, the tyre pressures were off, but since I have been keeping an eye on them and its still occurring..Just had a service etc... new plugs bla bla bla.. Car was fine after the service, so nothing to do with that...Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84917-cars-cutting-power/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even happens when I turn TC off.. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84917-cars-cutting-power/#findComment-1389121 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe valve springs are shagged? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84917-cars-cutting-power/#findComment-1389131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last service I had I had the plugs changed and I had an issue where we thought the coils were playing up but it wasn't them.. Valve springs are Nizpro ones but were installed years ago, could be a possibility but the car hasn't seen over 250rwkw's so I'm thinking they should be ok..

Would crap coils cause an increase in fuel usage too? Not a lot but noticeable?

Was pushing 6bar instead of 4, so that explains the extra fuel usage and obviously running way rich which was causing the drama..
