    BF Ford Falcon fuel consumption

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2005

    My 2005 BF Falcon Futura has suddenly begun to consume too much fuel. One mechanic told me it looks like a software issue and to go to a Ford dealer. What can I do?

    If it is also running poorly check the engine tune and things like the spark plugs, leads, filters, coils, and perhaps clean the throttle body. You really need to get a competent mechanic to check it. I doubt that it is a software problem, but a dealer could check for sensor problems etc.
