MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 1d Posted 31/07/13 10:56 AM Share Posted 31/07/13 10:56 AM hey guys, most would know I changed my wrecked bf motor for an fg long. problem im having is car has a strange idle. sounds like a lumpy cam but when you look at the instant fuel usage it sits at like 3.1lt to 3.2lt !! opposed to around 1.7lt to 1.9lt. tuner couldnt find an issue as fuel trims etc are all ok. we are thinking its the map sensor playing up as its the same one that was in my bf when it went bang maybe causing it damage........ anyone heard of this issue before??also when coasting car is pretty jerky as well. other than this the car is boosting properly and is fine on fuel use etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85814-strange-idle-after-engine-swap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 8m 15d Posted 31/07/13 12:04 PM Share Posted 31/07/13 12:04 PM Inlet manifold gasket leak perhaps. My car used to have a really lumpy idle on cold starts. Progressively got worse. Replaced the gasket (which had broken completely) and all good. Same thing on a mates non turbo ba to. Twice also while this problem was happening it would idle lumpy and really really rich to the point black smoke was coming out the exhaust. Only happened twice. And stopped after idle smoothed out. Never happened again since though. Gasket is cheap. Changing it is a complete sh*t job though Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk 4 Beta Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85814-strange-idle-after-engine-swap/#findComment-1411737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 1d Posted 01/08/13 12:31 AM Author Share Posted 01/08/13 12:31 AM Yeh my tuner tried to raise idle etc to calm the idle but had no success (masked it slightly). Thinking map sensor got damaged when motor blew or maybe dirty injector as oil went everywhere.

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 1d Posted 01/08/13 03:31 AM Author Share Posted 01/08/13 03:31 AM Yeh didn't throw code relating to that, only rich code. What would be your next idea to data log?
