Hi all need some advice.

 

I bought a Feb 08 BF XR6T a couple of weeks back. Nice car seems well looked after has partial service history and seems to be well maintained and unmolested.

 

In the last week it has developed a problem where it runs like a dream cruises along the freeway nicely then you press the gas to overtake or go up a hill and it suddenly looses power almost like there is no fuel or it floods?  

 

I have had the mechanic look over it and he could not find an issue except the fuel filter was a little dirty so he replaced it, it has now started doing it again.

 

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I love the car and would appreciate any help I  can get.

 

Cheers

I'd be looking at the coils, spark plugs and egt sensor first.

Thanks k31th it is supposed to have new plugs and coils per the previous owner but I am not sure and I never gave the EGT sensor a thought. If I replace the lot then it elimiinates them. Cheers

make sure there genuine coils & stick a boost guage on it to make sure its not overboosting. Regap the plugs to 0.8 & see if that helps, if it does you know its spark related
