Typhoon Member 564 Member For: 20y 7m 26d Gender: Male Posted 14/09/21 10:43 AM Share Posted 14/09/21 10:43 AM Good to hear that your stalling problems have been resolved. Could you post up a data log of the original problem? PM me if you prefer. I am keen to see if you were indeed having ignition timing problems. Doubt it.

Apple laptops aren’t really that friendly with Haltechs unless I’m extra special lol.

Frank Castle 85 Member 57 Member For: 4y 5m 23d Posted 20/09/21 04:23 AM Author Share Posted 20/09/21 04:23 AM I believe it’s the cam caps, check to see if there’s scoring. If they’re not on correctly and in order they’ll ruin your day. I’ve spent a further 8.9k diving deep into this. So I bought an NA head and changing over the exhaust valves, springs, with new headstuds and then chucking it on. But waiting on parts to arrive. I’m not taking anything from my Turbo head and not using the same headstuds. I’ve changed absolutely everything lol. Except the head. I believe I’ll be able to unlock the timing and this issue will be fixed, but won’t know until the head is completed. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96360-retarded-timing/page/4/#findComment-1707686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tucker Donating Members 703 Member For: 5y 10m 19d Posted 20/09/21 04:38 AM Share Posted 20/09/21 04:38 AM Interesting. My engine builder has done a lot of barras, so hopefully he's put the cam caps on properly... Thanks for funding the troubleshooting for us all haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96360-retarded-timing/page/4/#findComment-1707687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Castle 85 Member 57 Member For: 4y 5m 23d Posted 20/09/21 05:17 AM Author Share Posted 20/09/21 05:17 AM Hahaha if your builder is human, mistakes can happen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was told this common problem was rare. Then when searching the internet I’ve come across a lot, had discussions like this thread which confirms that I’ve done everything prior to locking the cams. Locking the cams does fix the issue, just no one in the tuner world can give me a definite answer if this is a bandaid solution or an actual fix, for that reason alone, that’s why I bought an NA head. Parts are cheap, so then it’ll be over 10.5-11k on this issue. Haha :(((( Keep me posted on how yours turns out.

Tom Tucker Donating Members 703 Member For: 5y 10m 19d Posted 20/09/21 08:17 AM Share Posted 20/09/21 08:17 AM Shall do man. Hope your NA head comes through. My tuner was on the phone with Haltech today, so hopefully they provided some insight that most of us don't necessarily have access to 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96360-retarded-timing/page/4/#findComment-1707694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's making horrible noises while attempting to idle.
