I have had coil packs tested by ford and came back ok and spark plugs are brand new Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27057-missfire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the plug gap set at? It may be a fuelling issue, may also be an overboost problem.More details would be useful in troubleshooting your problem.

Is it still under warranty?and , looks like it took you a while to pluck up the courage for your first post though!
