Posted 21/08/09 02:37 AM Posted 21/08/09 02:37 AM From my experence with these cars and having done some 20 odd sets of valve springs I would say this is what the problem will be.You need better valve springs.As I dont live near brisbane anymore you should contact either paul at elite or lee at rdp motorsport.Ian

While I was changing the fuel filter I tryed to use button passenger kick panel to disengage fuel pump and found a haltech interceptor. downloaded software to the laptop and had a look and it says its stock tune. Its a BA. I was thinking about the Valve Springs. Any suggestions as to wat type I should get.

They should be able to identify the problem quickly, and you can have valve springs and a custom tune done while you are there. What spark plug gap do you have?

You could start by hooking up a fuel flow guage if you can get one or simply remove the line off the press regulator and run it into a bucket for a min. You should be getting about 1.5l per min. However the pump or regulator could be breaking down under load. It is really hard to diagnose something sight unseen. Best to take it to someone who knows what they are doing mate.

I have a similar problem atm that is driving me crazy, Ford didn't pick it up when I took it to them.Only thing I can think is take mine to elite also.
