Nice car seems well looked after has partial service history and seems to be well maintained and unmolested. In the last week it has developed a problem where it runs like a dream cruises along the freeway nicely then you press the gas to overtake or go up a hill and it suddenly looses power almost like there is no fuel or it floods? I have had the mechanic look over it and he could not find an issue except the fuel filter was a little dirty so he replaced it, it has now started doing it again. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I love the car and would appreciate any help I can get.

If I replace the lot then it elimiinates them.

Regap the plugs to 0.8 & see if that helps, if it does you know its spark related Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94175-issues-with-08-bf-xr6t/#findComment-1661919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
