Bummer dude, not sure if it's the wet or.... tried cleaning the maf and it started first go, then went back to it's normal thing...

 

It starts first time after a day or so leaving it, then after about 5 mins of normal throttle and driving, it starts losing power.

 

Example:

When you put your foot on the pedal it near enough dies, so you let it off quick before it stalls at a roundbout or something and you get whacked lol.

Anyway.... if you feather the throttle really really light it will very slowly accelerate, once it's got above about 1000 rpm you can treat it as you want, but as soon as you're back on the 800rpm mark and sitting again, you darn't hit that pedal or that's your lot!....

 

Any ideas?

 

This is annoying and can't seem to narrow it down, not sure if it's the wet or not because it's still wet! lol

 

 

Thanks, Ant

no

hehe, thanks anyway... what was it?

Boost leak?:blink:

how does the car sound on idle ?

have you adjusted your tps (throttle position sensor) lots of links to that somewhere

Have you done an ecu diagnostics, I'd imagine it'd show a MAF error if there was one

car idles lovely, sometimes it goes high gradually, then low again...

 

Will check ECU led in mode 2 then I gather?

And will have a look at this tps thing, thanks guys, much appreciated =0)

Is it automatic or manual? Sounds like a timing issue!

Automatic

I wonder if when its in gear but not moving its not setting the tmiing correct so its trying to stall. OR its an issue with the torque converter sapping too much power at zero revs?

 

Out of interest does it suffer the same problems when its in neutral?

hmmmmmmm, not tried that... Will have to.

 

BUT, after I get this issue and turn the engine off it takes ages to start (even in park) and sometimes not at all unless I leave for a few hours, then starts first go???

ok, update today........

 

Got the ECU in Mode II... It's giving me:

 

1.) Long, short, short = ____ _ _

2.) Long, short, short, short = ____ _ _ _

 

Nothing else, I don't understand in the tech guide what it mwans by long is the first digit and shorts are second one?

 

Does that mean 1.) Is 12, and 2.) is 13???

:)

So it is a 12 & 13 error or am I reading the lights wrong?

I can't, it's all back lol

 

But there is a long stable flash, then two short flashes.

Then stops for a second blank.

Then another long stable, then three short ones...

 

Then it repeats this in a loop.

I will look at the ptu now bud.

Series one, it has the bright silver fins on the top...

Could be a massive boost leak?? Was it okay when you first bought the car?

yeah it was fine, guy run it all the way down from birmingham, no problems...

Have you driven it hard since then? Wondering if its popped a boost hose of.

yeah I drove it hard on the way back from london the other day, where do I check for that?

Series 1 or 2 PTU?

its a series 1 ptu bud
