I would bet it is either the overheating fuel pump or the Throttle position sensor (TPS) is upset or stuffed.

Remove the leads formt he battery for a few mins and flash the highbeam to make sure there is no residual voltage.

Then reconnect the battery and crank the car over with your foot flat to the floor in neutral. the car will not start, but it will reset the TPS and might solve the problem.

If it is a fuel pump, it will happen on long trips or when you thrash it. Pulling over and leaving the car for a few mins turned off will allow it to cool down and get you on your way, to ford to have it replaced.

There seem to be a few BF2's that are having this problem

Well thanks all for your help….. I'm glad to know there is some sympathetic owners out there.

I have call Ford up today and they will be picking up the car tonight (via tow truck) and bringing to the factory to look over…. I spoke to the dealer principal & says that they have never heard of this problem happening.

So fingers crossed that my beast comes back better than ever (maybe they can chuck some 20's on to compensate for the pain and suffering)

It seems to be a comon line that all the regular problems, the dealer has never heard of.

I hope they fix your car properly and do not turn around and say they could not find anything wrong.

U paid $57K for a BFII Xr6T???

Good luck. Maybe get ford to re-flash your ecu with the lastest map. that's not hard for them to do!

Check Throttle Position Switch, Ford have since revised them after having problems. We have replaced a number of them. Do let us know how you go mate,

Well Dirty32, I guess u have never bought a new car?

A XR6T starts at $42k not including any on road costs

I then added as many extras as I possibly could afford-

Metallic paint

Leather interior, they mixed a colour to match the paint Neo and embroidery different from standard and choice of stitching colour over $3k option (custom form the factory)

premium audio

Paint protection

Tint

Floor mats (XR)

Spare Alloy 18"

striping pack

Side air bags

Reverse sensors

They were asking me to fork over $57k but I got them down to $52k and I had to wait over one month for it to get built.

So to answer your question yes

When putting insurance for the car its $57k to replace.

This is why my fist post is so ridiculous!!!!

I then added as many extras as I possibly could afford-

Paint protection

Oh no, they got ya there mate.....

I guess everyone’s got there own opion but for me I don’t have $57k to though away so im going to do the most I can to protect my pride & joy. To put it in prospective this car to me is like a rich / well off person buying a high end sports car e.g.- Porsche / Ferrari, I would imagine that if you had a car like that you would spare no expense.

So to cut a long story short my XR6T is my Porsche / Ferrari & it will probably be the most expensive car ill ever own unless I win the lotto or get a fat pay rise.

Mate, as long as you are happy with what you got for what you paid, that's the important thing.

everyone feel warm and fuzzy now?
