Thanks,I will get the plugs you suggest as I am confident that the idle problem is caused by the plugs. I have reflashed the factory map and the same problem with power loss is there.This suggests to me that the edit is fine and the problem is elsewhere.Still scratching my head. Peter

I have done a search on intermittent power loss and an increase in fuel consumption and can't find anything that relates directly to my situation,so any advice would be appreciated. I recently bought the edit with generic tunes and found the car to be running very consistently with both the 8psi & 10psi maps.At the time of purchase it was run on the dyno to make sure all was fine and the results were safe. After a week of driving my fuel economy actually improved from an average of 15.5 l/100km to high 14's even with some spirited driving. One day I noticed that the car started behaving weird, in that one minute it would go hard and then the next it would loose considerable power.I also noticed that within a few days the fuel usage has gone up to 17.5 l/100km and still rising. I have checked all the hoses for loose clamps and even decided to fit the new intercooler which I had sitting in the garage waiting to be added with some other mods, which I intended to do all at once.this eliminated the loose clamp scenario. My spark plugs were regapped at time of edit which I noticed caused the car to pop on idle.Should I check the plugs again? Any advice as to what could be causing this and what other things I could do to try and track down the problem would be great. Thanks

No offence X-Wing but if you had read the original post you would have noticed that he was having some issues with surge and bad idle.So I guess that your theory does not apply here.Good to hear you are one of the rare ones that has had no problems.

Check out the Rocket Industries site.It looks like they have some valve springs on there.

Get it done.It sounds like it can't get any worse than what you have now.I had my car flashed and it never missed a beat since,in fact it runs much more consistently in all aspects,idle,surge etc.

Well said ZAPXR6T.I have taken this approach myself and funny enough the next time I had a problem it was fixed in no time.It's not that they can't fix it,they just don't care about warranty work cause it's not easy money like a service is.Don't give up Brad,persitance beats resistance. Peter

I have always liked the way the Germans design their rims,they look hot Saleen. Deep dish does it for me so I ordered these from Germany when I had my old Skyline.

Thanks for the feedback,but it's the outcome that was excpected. I personally am not giving up on the issue and my next point of call is to get some legal advice.Probably a waste of time, but I will not give up without a fight. Peter

Please keep us posted as I have also gone down the same path with the rattling noise from the gearbox.So far I have hit a brick wall with the issue even after providing 2 independent opinions saying that the noise is definately gearbox related,Ford still won't budge.I am keen to see what the outcome is Trough Lolly.

I had a similar issue when my car just wouldn't start and when it finally did it was shaking from side to side.I called my dealer and was told to turn the ignition on and off 3 times then start it.Believe it or not it worked and has never happened since.Give it a go and good luck. Peter

I too have had the dreaded squeal.I persisted with complaining to the point where they replaced the rotors but still the squeal,until my dealer advised me of a second revised pad which finally did the job.Not a hint of squeal for 4000kms now. You pay good money for what is meant to be a superior product in the case of the Turbo model so you must not tollerate their rubbish and lies.I was fed comments like that's how performance brakes behave etc.Has anyone heard a porshce with squealing brakes,I haven't.Good luck Countryphoon. Peter

Yeah,I can't open it.

You must be either getting a lot of wheelspin or not launching at the correct rpm. Just to give you a comparison to my stock manual,I had consistent 2.1 to 2.2 60ft times running 14.3 at 98mph.Theoretically in an auto with 107mph terminal speed you would excpect at least a low 13. Better luck next time ROTARICK. Peter

I got the same message on completion of download. Peter

Looks great.Can you give some details? I am very interested in buying a similar set up. Peter
