Ford Falcon 1998: Stalling
It’s most likely the crank angle sensor, which is on the crankshaft. Have a mechanic check it.
Ford Falcon 1998: Stalling at low revs
It’s most likely the crank angle sensor, which is on the crankshaft. Have a mechanic check it.
Which is better: Commodore vs Falcon?
It's very low mileage for a car that is 18 years old, so make sure the odometer is correct. If it is you've most likely got a good buy on your hands. The BA Falcon is a solid and generally reliable car. There's little to worry about with the engine, there can be problems with the automatic transmission, but it shouldn't be a problem if it drives normally when you test-drive it.
Poor headlights on newer vehicles
I also suffered through a six-volt Beetle but there is no excuse now. Upscale Euro cars have great bi-xenons and that should be the standard for everyone, although the Commodore and Falcon are world's - best for their price.
Ask Smithy Xtra EL Falcon auto jamming
By locking in third gear it’s going into ‘limp home’ mode, probably because the computer has identified an electrical problem with the gearbox. A diagnostic check should identify the fault.
Ask Smithy Xtra dual-fuel EL Falcon loses power
It doesn’t sound like a problem with the gas system, sounds more like it needs a service.
Using old petrol for Falcon
It won’t damage your car, but it might cause it run poorly. Fuel today goes off within a week or two, so it’s not a good idea to leave it in the tank for too long.
