Also, check for codes, check the temp sensor & it's wiring tooFaulty sensors/bad earths will come up with different codes for each sensor yeah? just so it narrows it down My xcal is coming up with no codes , will I need to go see ford ?

I'm having an issue with my BA that sounds very similar to yours. I'm 99% convinced it's a VCT problem and was just wondering what you did to test the solenoids? Just apply power when removed to check actuation? If so, can I remove them without disturbing the timing chain? Now I think about it that last one is really the main question since the job becomes a lot bigger at that point.Just a quick background on my issue. The car has a small stumble during hot start, sort of flirts with stalling then pulls through. Cold start is fine. Idle is perfect hot or cold. Everything seems to work well but I had the car on the dyno today and at about 3000rpm it just stopped making power even though boost was steady and AFR's were where they needed to be. It was acutally impressive how flat the power "curve" was. Almost perfectly level. Seems to me that the VCT is doing exactly nothing but I'm open to other suggestions.Cheers guys.
