how can you tell if your car is ruuning in safety mode. bearing in mind i cant run her down the road because shes on ramps. Also not having a fully charged battery shouldnt affect this should it, i only say that because im stsrting her up with jump leads.

If you not driving it then safety or not it will not matter, only really effects things when on the road,a ConZult or built in diagnostic will show a safety code if its there.

It does matter to explain please see my other link flat spot. im trying to elimbinate all aves the cheap ones first?

No it doesn't, anything you feel like at simple reving the car like a flat spot, once on the road could be a lot different, in short a flat spot now, but far bigger problem when driving, then that will more with a diagnosis .

Safety boost would also not cause a flat spot unless you knew what caused the safety boost, which you have no idea you have until you go on the road.

 

IMO if yer engine is running and you have checked all connections are good and can't see any signs of a boost leak and have done a boost leak test, then the next step MUST be to drive it and see what materialises, if anything!

 

Fanny arse around trying to fix summit that you don't know exists before you drive, could make something simple, far worse....

Please let me try to explaine what i mean and in doing so might mean some wired illistrations but here goes.

the car is idaling at say 750-800 rpm sound lovely not lumpy not noisey in any way, then you touch throttle now, it dos'nt rev sothly up to were ever you want it holds back for a secound almost if its staving of air then the revs come in thick and fast , now it doesnt matter if you rev it from 1000 rev 2000 rev 3 or even hold it at 4000 revs also it dosent matter if the peddles down hard or soft.now in my book if your car dose not rev nicely through the range like it use to thacking it up the road aint going to make any difference. the prob still there

Assuming all the above, no matter what you feel it's only at revs, unless you get on boost, that slight delay in revs could on show in another way and is the true indication, so you'l be in a better position to fix it.

Other than that, do a diagnostics, it only takes a few minutes.

 

But 100% you need to get boost, to know if your in safety boost or not and help determine problems....

got the codes and they are 34 and 13 now im thinking because ive bolted on a huge fmic and have a large k a n air filter the engine cant get enough induction air straght away and thats why the det sensor is probley retardind from firing because i now need her to be set up again proply with that set up .make sence or am i still trying to make things complicated.bassicly rolling road time.

Charge the battery, as yes a low battery can effect things actually
