Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 02/08/03 09:45 PM Share Posted 02/08/03 09:45 PM On our way home from katomba last night (approx 60 minutes) the car shi# itself . I have no idea but it sounded like a WRX with a huge exhaust, it was a rough burble sound or like the exhaust had broken. As you can tell I am not a mechanic. Anyway it stalled once but luckily I was only 2 minutes away so I limped home !! Any ideas?? :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5163-sudden-power-loss/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 02/08/03 11:38 PM Share Posted 02/08/03 11:38 PM Have taken a look this morning and everything looked OK, I gave it a start and it now sounds completly normal? I know that the car has a limp mode anyone know what this sounds like and what causes it?

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 03/08/03 08:31 AM Share Posted 03/08/03 08:31 AM went for a drive and the car ran fine, I'm guessing its the ecu, regardless the car is booked for Wed for the first service.

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 06/08/03 11:28 AM Share Posted 06/08/03 11:28 AM Picked the car up today and when they checked the ECU its showing an over boost error code which is why it went into limp mode, all they did was reflash the computert. I would also agree with some other posts re limp mode in that it can be very dangerous in certain circumstances!! Ford really need to look into this IMO!!
