mine did that but also vibrated alot and sounded like a scooby.... stopped after a while.

 

was told it was more than likely the MAF that got wet.

well if you find out what it is... let me know!! Likewise if I get mine looked at soon... i'll give ya a shout.

 

1 person told me it was the maf thing getting wet, and someone else menioned loose coil thingy's and explained how to check they were all in ok... Did that but it didnt stop the scoobyness.

 

*touch wood* it hasnt done that again for about 2 weeks now... so im hoping it was and is nothing serious!

 

 

 

P.s... excuse the techincal talk! :p

Sounds like a boost leak. Check all pipework and your intercoolers for leaks or damage. You can pressurise it by disconnecting your MAF etc., and finding a good fit plastic bottle, cut off the bottom and fit tyre valve in the cap end. Fit bottle in MAF pipe tightly and pressurise to about 10 psi. Any leaks should become apparent.

When mine did this it was the ECU.

looks like i will have to start taking things to bits, clean or replace

 

 

cheers for the input
