If I open the throttle slowly it will get there but any more than about half and the engine just dies, completely cuts out, foot off the gas and its OK again.

 

Cut my boost to half a bar just to make sure it was not over boosting and its the same, no obvious air/boost leaks. Idle is fine if a bit high but then it always is, so its the same. Switched it off last time and it was sweet, started this time and this is happening, so guessing electrical?????

 

Feels like an old fashioned carb engine when its too cold to run without the choke, if you know what I mean? ie running too lean.

 

Any ideas before I start to pull things off? MAF maybe?

 

Thanks in advance.....

IIRC the revcounter does not drop, but I will check, thanks.

Drove the car today after giving the temp sender connections a good clean yesterday, and, wait for it.

 

Its OK again. So thanks guys, especially AndyDuff, I am very gratefull.

mine was reving to four grand and seems to do it in wet i have apexi filter and think it gets wet

I did wonder if that was my problem, but I had used it in the wet the time before and all was OK.

 

Also, I think that after the engine has been running for a while, unless its raining very hard the water in the filter will be sucked through anyway.

 

But, I am guessing. Anyone else?
