No movement in the tacho, no burble from the exhaust. Just a vibration or rocking of the car. Never caused me to spill my drink either ...metaphorically speaking of course... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORDTECH Member 383 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Location: On the edge Posted 03/02/04 10:01 AM Share Posted 03/02/04 10:01 AM OK guys,after speaking to the powers that be regarding the "new" cal's for your vehicles,it appears that the morons that have been installing the new calibration disc's hadn't actually been installing the previous system disc's and therefore causing their WDS units to sh*t the bed.What they have to do is back date their machines with all the earlier calibration disc's then install the earlier system disc's then install the new calibration disc followed by the latest system disc.Or alternatively wait for a patch disc to be made to repair the machine in 1 go.I'll leave it up to you guy's to figure out which alternative your dealer will take.

Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of better news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM2QIK Member 84 Member For: 21y 3m 20d Posted 04/02/04 05:27 AM Author Share Posted 04/02/04 05:27 AM Thanks FordTech, nice of you to let us all know whats happening ... if it was'nt for you no one would have any idea (except for us forever waiting of course) of Fords slow pathetic attempts to retify this bloody annoying fault!If these latest calibrations are'nt for the idle/stalling problems on the manual XR6T and XR8's .... what problem do they correct?????I find it hard to believe you've not had any auto's with idle/stalling drama's for I know of several friends who've auto's and have the same drama's with idle/stalling as me.Anyways, thanks for all your help and I hope Ford resolves this problem soon or I'll sell this car ....
