Eratic Idle

[willow]

just bought an 03 xr6 turbo and is wondering if anyone has experiencd an unstable idle/slight miss? have taken it to ford 3 times to rectify and they just cleared the KAN and said it was ok but the miss is still there. A friend told me all xr6's (turbo or non turbo) have a rough idle. is this true or is there something else going on?

Is this happening when the car is starting up or is it a constent occurance?

The idle is never perfect, just all depends on how bad it is.

[willow]

It happens all the time, more so when at NOT, not on start-up more than likely because of the higher idle on cold start, it's not too bad but is enough to shake the car every so often and pop out the exhaust. Coould it be a carbon problem in an IAC valve or T body?

Mine is pretty smooth at idle but I also get the occasional pop at the exhaust..

doesnt worry me at all

I'd say it happens to me once or twice every six months or so. Usually after getting a glimpse of just getting warmed up (~4-5km or so) and sitting at a set of lights. You know what's going on because you begin to get that V8 idle lope feeling so you just round the foot off the break and on the go pedel which usually sorts it out.

Normal, factory installed at no extra cost.

mine has the occasional rock. Nothing major though.

Jeez ! I can put a Stubby on mine & it does'nt move. Don't leave it on there for long because it gets too hot.

I got my TPS changed, 2 weeks later it started again, I got a custom tune and thought it should fix it but it hasnt, its a factory standard.
