Smiddi Member 2 Member For: 12y 1m 2d Posted 21/05/13 04:15 AM Share Posted 21/05/13 04:15 AM I have an XR6 turbo (2004) that I've had for about 6 weeks, it's got about 160,000kms on it.I didn't notice any issues at first but this seems to be getting worse.At low revs the car runs fine. But when I start to pick the revs up and give it some stick the engine just dies (at around 4,000rpm).This is not all the time though, only most oft the time.I keep my foot flat to the floor and it takes off the it struggles (coughs and splutters) and the power just dies. As the revs drop the power comes back on.At first I though it was a blocked fuel filter so I changed that (quick and easy job), but didn't change it.A few weeks back I replaced the gasket between the outlet manifold and the turbo cause there was exhaust gas hissing from it cause it was damaged.Also I've noticed a slight shake to the car when it's idling, might be related??Some direction would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85004-car-runs-rough-and-dies-at-higher-rpm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiddi Member 2 Member For: 12y 1m 2d Posted 21/05/13 04:32 AM Author Share Posted 21/05/13 04:32 AM I was thinking either plugs/coils (they prob havent been replaced for a long time) or fuel pump not keeping up the flow rate.Maybe a blocked cat??

xr6boosted Member 67 Member For: 13y 4m 19d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 03/06/13 05:46 AM Share Posted 03/06/13 05:46 AM I have the same issue, mine started to die at 100% throttle over 4000rpm.. If I back off it goes again. I replaced spark plugs, it fixed it for a day or so then the problem returned.So on the weekend I replaced coil packs as well, now it's fine for 1st and 2nd gear WOT and dies after the shift to third only WTF!
