I have changed the fuel filter now I’m not sure where I should start I’m leaning towards either injectors coil packs or o2 sensor hopefully something simple but knowing my luck . Please let me know if your need any more info. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94242-mechanical-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then go with coils and spark plugs next. Also check if the catalytic converter has collapsed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94242-mechanical-problems/#findComment-1663512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the car is getting the indication that there's more air in there than usual and is overfuelling to compensate and is running rich because there isn't actually any more air there. Yep, the o2 sensor is the same. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94242-mechanical-problems/#findComment-1663532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out they were all original from factory except 2 coils. 145xxx km is that good or bad 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94242-mechanical-problems/#findComment-1663702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
