Problems/help Please

[Revenge]

Hey Everyone,

Not sure if this is the correct area to post this please advise if not.

I am having a few problems with my BF2 XR6 Turbo ute 6 speed manual (completely stock). Yes I have completed a search on the forums and come up with some answers from different threads/ posts, but nothing concrete yet.

So my problem is the MIL engine light is has been on for about a month now (yes I know I should of had this repaired by Ford ASAP).

What I have noticed:

Poor fuel consumption average 14.5 (I drive on the freeway 15mins every day to work which is half the trip)

Idle problems every now and then (missing) once/ twice a week for short periods

Possible power loss (not sure because I have been driving it for so long with the light on)

Questions:

Does it affect boost?

Does it affect AFR’s/ run rich (which would explain the power/fuel consumption?

Could the car be in limp mode?

I have been to the drags recently and the time/MPH doesn’t add up considering what I have seen here with other cars.

Thanks in advance for any info

Get it to Ford first thing in the morning dude. Get them to check the error code. Could be a Map sensor or something that's gone/going.

Mate, all you're going to get on these forums is people guessing what the problem may be. Sure, some of them will be educated guesses, but still guessing.

You need to take the car to a qualified mechanic (like you should have done way back when) who can plug into the ECU and run a diagnostic scan.

Ford didn't put all of those warning lamps in your instrument cluster just to look pretty!

Just asking for some general input and like I said taking it to Ford this week, don't appreciate the sarcasm.

I'm just telling it like it is.....not everyone can appreciate my sarcasm.

Stuffed oxygen sensor...in my expert opinion

I don't mean to get upset with you, just frustrated that's all.

I can appreciate your frustration. "If its got tits or wheels, sooner or later you're gonna have problems".

What time did you run stock? Mine stock and its first run only did a 14.1 I think. 2.4 60ft or something like that though.

14.6 @ 97mph 2.360ft, I have done a lot of drag racing my usual 60ft in other falcons are 1.8-9 (e-series), this is my first b-series, but still even 2.360ft plus flat changing 2nd and 3rd, should be 102-105mph...............
