1600dave Legacy Donating Member 872 Member For: 15y 8m 9d Posted 11/05/12 09:11 AM Posted 11/05/12 09:11 AM Wrong.The box is actually commanding the PCM to do that.Why would it do that though, any ideas?I read another member who had the same problem, monsta torque suggested it had previously had water contamination and the torque converter may be damaged. Ford checked for fault codes and it only said clutch slip.Water contamination does cause hunting too, riptide had it, his was all the time though

I assumed the title of the other thread was correct.I used the genuine oil for my service and will continue to do so. Not worth the risk not to IMO.

Paulie2256 Legacy Donating Member 7,441 Member For: 17y 9m 28d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 12/05/12 01:20 AM Posted 12/05/12 01:20 AM (edited) The rich cycle is open loop and it bypasses the o2 sensor and runs a different fuel map. Since its a static map, revvs shouldn't hunt. Not sure if our map sensor and coolant temp is used to calculate AFR in this case but if they are the. Maybe one of those is faulty.
