SILK RSPEC Donating Members 193 Member For: 16y 5m 18d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Southside Posted 02/07/08 08:13 AM Share Posted 02/07/08 08:13 AM Hi guy's,My car has almost 15oooklms on it and have noticed lately it has started to surge when cruing along doing the speed limit. Has anyone else had this problem and is it an esy fix or should I let ford check it out at my next service. I am just trying to make sure the car is all fine before the big power mods start in a couple of weeks. Hate working on a car that already has a problem. Seems to do it more when the car is cold I have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/07/08 08:59 AM Share Posted 02/07/08 08:59 AM Some cars tend to surge if they have around 1/4 tank of fuel or less at WOT.Another member on here had the same prob and from memory I think he had a faulty O2 sensor.

Will Member 12 Member For: 16y 1m 30d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/07/08 11:05 AM Share Posted 02/07/08 11:05 AM Silk RSpec, I was travelling from Albury to Melbourne on Sunday and I felt slight surges (4-5 times over the 3 hour trip) which I have not felt before. My Rspec has also just clicked over 15,000km's. I have the FPV day tomorrow and it is booked in for the 15K service next week and I will ask them to have a look at it. In Feb this year I had a faulty fuel pump, which was replaced under warranty. It has purred ever since. I'll let you know if it keeps surging and whether Ford find anything next week.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 17y 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/07/08 11:54 AM Share Posted 02/07/08 11:54 AM Same issue here, when taking it easy it sometimes feels like the throttle closes or car runs out of petrol, I can hear the engine breaking when it happens. This normally only lasts few seconds and hitting the accelerator seems to make it go away.I have given up on trying to figure it out as it's almost impossible to find the cause when it's not happening, and it's not happening too often.BTA, cylinder shut off sounds like it might be it, what is triggering it?

Hazey Member 234 Member For: 20y 8m 12d Posted 13/07/08 10:16 AM Share Posted 13/07/08 10:16 AM I too have this surge/engine breaking down feeling. It happens only when the car is cold. I have had it for about 1 year now.Its the same feeling as when traction control comes on and shutsdown cylinders. My car is currently at Tunehouse getting a service and hopfully trying to find the fault.My cat had a crack in it, and when they took it out to weld, they said the inside had collapsed. So possible it was dumping fuel when it happens.Really hope they can see it happen so they can diagnose.My car has 60k on it and problem has been there with 2 different tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
