(95/98 etc)Is it old fuel? A bad batch perhaps?Replace your fuel filterPut a fuel system cleaner through the carCheck and clean your air intake filterCoil packs (as done) - are they genuine? Genuine are highly recommended Fouled spark plugs - Good brand gapped correctly for your applicationBoost leaks? Check your piping/clamps/hoses etcCheck turbo for excessive play/bent fins/excessive oil etcI'd also be checking your drive belts/oil levels and condition/general component inspectionCould be an issue with the Throttle body/TPS?Hopefully you will have some luck with one of the above.If it's still horrible, instead of wasting (lots) of money guessing, take it to a reputable shop mate - It'll save you time and money if the cheap/easy options don't work...Cheers and good luck,Dan Edited 12/11/14 10:08 AM by NVT Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89568-g6et-misfirelosing-power/#findComment-1511869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
