Fitted a new intake manifold gasket, car idles perfectly again.

Yea looks fairly simple, how much gaskets usually cost? Ford quoted my old man about $500 to get his fixed a month or so ago.

Ok I clearly have a vacuum leak at the intake manifold gasket, tracked it down with a bit of hose to isolate the sound. Its leaking on the first cylinder, whats people experience changing this their self? I have no problem doing it but does the manifold usually need shaving or is that uncommon?

I cleaned the throttle body about a month ago, ill check the other stuff out on the weekend. Cheers

guys, I have searched the forums for a while now about idle issues but couldn't find anything like my problem. Car is a BA XR6T 6SP manual, drives perfectly until I need to slow down to a stop. I put my foot on the clutch at about 1500RPM and roll to a stop. When I do this the RPM lifts to about 2000rpm and wont usually drop to normal idle until I have come to a complete stop for 5 seconds or so. Once it reaches normal idle it stays there. I remember having this issue about 4 years ago and it fixed it self, has now just started doing it again. Any ideas?

Nuh I still have the noise, I just got used to it. It could be a slight exhaust leak somewhere. But I gave up.

Yea they are genuine ones, I shall inspect them on the weekend.

Hey guys My car recently has a slight mis underload at first I thought it was traction control but discovered it wasnt, I immediatly think its a stuffed coil pack but I wanted to know if there is a way to test them with a multimeter like we used to on ignition leads? I am going to pull them out this weekend to inspect them, had them in for about 2 and a half years (about 30,000ks). Anyone know if its possible to test the resistance of these coils? Cheers.

Hey guys, I am looking at buying an 09 FG G6E, just wanted to know what the common issues are with the FG's to look out for when buying one. Been driving a BA for quite a few years and know their issues pretty well now. Just after people’s experiences with the G6E, and wondering is the colour Ego easy enough to maintain? Any comments are appreciated Cheers.

depends on what your after really, if you have a car pc setup then you might be after something like DashCommand with a nice digital gauge setup. My software is sitting on the back burner at the moment, I will post here when I have a completed product I was only really writing it for my personal use to see what info I could get out of the car. Have some nice features in mind for it though.

Guys, Currently have pedders springs with standard shocks on 20s, front sits 330mm hub to guard and 300mm hub to guard in the back. I am thinking about replacing them with the Kings SL front and SSL back to get the level look with some monroe GT short shocks. (would love a set of coil overs but just brought a house so they are out of question) For those guys with this setup does your front tyre rub on the guard with these springs? I am running 225 tyres at the front. Would be great if we could get some hub to guard measurements and with what setup you have. cheers guys

Yea I am in the same situation, mine is on its ass at the moment with pedders springs and after driving it like that for 2 years its giving me the sh*ts now. Was good until they sagged then it got too low. Whats the best spring guys?

Ok I have uploaded the first BETA version for testing if anyone is interested. It includes SAE PID's commands pre-configured, local data logging, continuous monitoring of a selected PID, and of course allows sending custom commands for the adventurous. This application is designed to be a diagnostic tool, not a pretty interface. I am leaving all the extended features and nice graphics for the Centrafuse plugin. Please leave some feedback here and any suggestions or requests you may have. You can report bugs from within the help menu of the application of on the forums. Cheers

yea that's what started the whole idea off. Data will be stored on a server so you can access it whenever you need.
