Apparently modded T's sometimes like to have coilpacks die and there's six of them. I think mine's doing the same thing but it only ever happens under load.

Edit: BA plugs are due at 105,000k's have yours been done yet? If its not a standard XR6T the plugs will need to be gapped down a bit too, think mine are 0.7mm.

Just take it in to a dealer and ask them to check your plugs and coils.

If it's got a cam in it they may not want to know about warranty and anyway it's only got 3000k's left hasn't it?

Guarantee it's plugs matey. Mine does exactly the same thing and it was on the dyno. KPM reckon new plugs will fix it. "I" will fix it when I get the defect sticker lifted......

They're on the intake side (ie opposide side to the turbo) under a pile of intake manifold and yes they're iridium.

plugs are directly in the middle of the head, 1 cam on either side of them, and yes they can be a pain to get to, u might not have the tools in u'r every day kit. but if u want pointers start by removing u'r turbo plennum that covers the engine, 3 10m nuts and the intercooler piping, also disconect the wastegate vacume line and note where it comes off. then useing i think a 5m alan key undo all the bolts holding the plastic cover onto the tappet cover, under here you will find u'r coils on each plug. replace with iridium plugs. i'm not sure but i think they are due @150.000 not 105.000 but dont hold me to that. maybe give the throttle body a clean while u have all the piping off, probly fairly dirty @90.000. do u have a ss throttle body? or just standard?
