cvanxr Member 502 Member For: 22y 5m 20d Location: Country NSW Posted 17/05/04 02:35 AM Share Posted 17/05/04 02:35 AM I had a quick search, but haven't found anything yet that sounds like my Problem.Here it is. When driving a couple of weeks ago I decided to plant my foot to the floor. The car accelerated and then nothing. It revved between 3 & 4 grand but there was no power. As soon as I took my foot off the accelerator it stopped and worked fine. A minute later when I tried to accelerate it did it again. Took it straight to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong.The other day it happenned again only worse. I had already driven about 500km and was nearing the end of the trip. Seems to happen when the car is warm already and only if I stomp on the accelerator. The engine just seems to rev at a certain level but put out no power. It scared the sh*te out of me yesterday, when I was passing someone and it just seemed to stick.Can someone help me out with what might be doing this? I would like to have some idea before I take it back to the dealer.Thanks in advance.

Posted 17/05/04 02:56 AM Share Posted 17/05/04 02:56 AM Possibly your transmission inhibiter switch could be faulty. These cars have a protection in them that stops you revving the engine above 3000rpm in neutral, if your inhibiter switch is not telling the PCM the car is in gear , you may not be able to erv it past 3000rpm. Just a thought....Mark. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10783-something-is-wrong/#findComment-123114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to work out as it is only has happened intermitently?

cvanxr Member 502 Member For: 22y 5m 20d Location: Country NSW Posted 17/05/04 07:04 AM Author Share Posted 17/05/04 07:04 AM OK. They looked at it and found some error codes around the turbo boost, wiring and stuff. Please excuse the mechanical incompetence. It has to go back tomorrow for more investigation. :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10783-something-is-wrong/#findComment-123204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't make the car do it again though, I'll just add it to the list of things to be done tomorrow at the dealers.
