I have changed the oxygen sensor, Throttle position sensor and most of the rubber seals on the air intake manifold/ throttle body and turbo. I've also given the throttle body a good clean and reset the ECU/TPS. The car doesn't feel like its gonna stall any more but the idle is still a bit rough. The needle doesn't sit still and fluctuates up and down over about 100/200rpm. The fuel consumption hasn't changed at all. I know the manifold isnt leaking. There has been no noticeable loss of power. Here are the symtoms: - fuel consumption has jumped from 13lt/100km to 17.8lt/100km - idle was pretty rough. Sometimes stalling at the lights - while accelerating under load when the car still fully hasn't heated up it feels like the fuel cut off comes on, the car loses power and wont accelerate further until I remove my foot from the accelerator. Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think would be the best a diagnosing the issue? Pro tuners with a dyno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in Sydney, then you can check out this thread to choose from the quality places around, if necessary. -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82602-recommended-tuner-workshop-new-south-wales/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
