Well I've had my AUI F'mont for two months now and its still running like shit.. I had it serviced not long after I got it and they found a few issues with it. Injectors, Drive belt ect.. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...4&page=1&pp=15 (follow the link if you want to look). Spent over $1000 bucks on it and it still has a rough idle, when the climate control is on, the revs are up and down like a yo yo, same with the P/steering. Midas done the work so its going back on the 30th. when it went in to get done all it had was a rough idle which was they told me a injector clean & new leads, well that didn't fix it and now all this other shit has started since then
 : . Any clues as what it might be? Cheers :(

Ok what are the plugs like? Maybe your fuel filter is clogged and it's starving for fuel? How is it a higher revs? Maybe your ISC needs a good clean out? Are the new leads plugged in properly at the coil packs?
Hope that helps Cheers, Adrian

I'd replace the coil pack, could be starting to break down on one of the cylinders

Yep, had the same problem with my AU. Turned out to be the coilpack.

I was hoping Road & Track services could fill that role, but they have done their dash with me.
My next stop is morpowa.
