Hi,
I've tried everything within my limited powers to get my BA 220kw V8 engine running properly. It misses randomly on cylinders, rough idle and im getting 250-300km per tank? Does anyone know a mechanic that is really knowledgeable and possibly specialises on Fords anywhere around Seven Hills/Hills/Parramatta/Fairfield? Would really appreciate it before I go and kick my car. Thanks |

…And I still can’t think of anyone particularly. Maybe just start with a workshop using a decent scan tool and see what misfire faults are logged.

Did you have any luck. I've worked on a couple of 5.4 3V's

What have you tried to diagnose and fix? A common issue with the 3v is the PCV hose nozzle splitting, causing a vac leak, which will give you all those symptoms. It's the hose that runs from the passenger valve cover to the back of the engine.
How's your timing chain and tensioners? Any rattle on cold starts? Some people have also had issues with coils on these motors.

We have smoke tested it so I don't think it has any leaks. The weird part is when we are checking when each of the cylinders are not firing with the computer hooked up, it happens randomly. Occasionally, on all 8 cylinders, one will not fire and just runs rough. Sometimes a little rattle when it cold starts. Sometimes, it just turns over and I have to turn the key again. Very very frustrating. |

Autotech at Granville is a known performance house and on Fords for a long time.
Exy but Spiro would work out what the prob is if all else fails.
