Hi all,
My BA is missing underload after I washed the engine bay. Ended up with water around the spark plug. Pulled spark plug / coil out, dried, checked and put back in ect., took to my mechanic and couldn't find anything wrong either. Still flatspotting underload at around 2,200, or 1,750 if you accellerate from there. Pings and misses if you accelerate quickly in triptronic mode. Worse with an empty tank and quite dangerous if you need to overtake. As a last resort I've booked my car in at Ford Dandenong. $115 for looking at it before they do anything. Spoke to the service department over the phone. Said it's quite common and they'll give it a flash tune on the computer as well. Any guesses as to how much pain i'll be in? I'm thinking around $400.
