As I got quoted a price starting from $500 upwards to tune without my capa tuner as they dont like to use them he told me.I was also told it could be a vaccum leak but bloody hell who knows lol.I read a million blogs and have found about 80% of people have the same idleing problem and it never fully gets fixed in most cases.Thanks =)PS: Its a manual aswell Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83398-xr6t-idle-is-driving-me-nuts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickBA-XR6T Bronze Donating Members 386 Member For: 13y 4m 7d Posted 01/01/13 12:31 AM Share Posted 01/01/13 12:31 AM Do you normally do your own general maintenance? It could be a tps issue. I am in Auburn if you want me to retension the exhaust and turbo and check the other usual suspects. I have the BA manual also. Won't take long maybe an hour.
