Losing Bulk Power @ Around 3000 Rpm

lol, I would be taking it somewhere else, if one coil was bad seems probable that another might be suss as well. By the sounds of it you know what it was like when the coil went last time and if it is similar then that's where I would start looking. I would look at taking it to elite or bps

just a thought but I would replace the coil packs anyways, $145 for a set on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-BA-BF-IGNITION...1742.m153.l1262

can give you a hand if you are on the sunny coast, can change over the plugs in my FG in 30 minutes now

Ok mate, cheers, I am on the coast, so I might give you a call.

I really appreciate the offer

[F6_jase]

no worries. for that price its worth doing just to eliminate them from the equasion and get to know your way around the owner replaceable stuff under your bonnet. message me and I'll give you my number.

Problem all sorted, as you guys thought it was either the coil packs or the plugs, so I've replaced the lot (by myself Yewww)

Car is running beautifully, back with it's full 325kw...... and wants to break traction frequently again.

Lol

Thanks to all for your advice

did the plugs look dirty or could you see a problem with them? how was the coils could you see a problem...I checked mine out and cant see any faults but also have a similar problem...

[MikeyMike80]

Couldn't really tell from looking at coil packs, but the plugs were a bit grubby

I replaced the coil packs (set of 6 for $150 via ebay) and all 6 spark plugs (set of 6 for $90)..... problem solved

I figured if I replace all coils and all plugs I should knock the problem on the head and it worked perfectly.

Car is running awesome, putting the foot down feels good again! lol

I have seen the same issue lossing power around 3000rpm with the wastgate actuator stuffed not working

I bet it still won't rev past 3 k in neutral.
