any ideas on why the car is holding back so violently i was going up a hill put my foot down and the car threw me forward, backfired, then cut out manged to bump it again then i couldnt even go above 2k rpm anyone have any ideas why it would do that?

 

Is it over boosting ? is the pipe on going to the map sensor ?

 

pipe is on the map sensor and as far as i know the boost has'nt been messed with, should be set as it always has been. and i cant find out what it's boosting now due to it holding back so much.it was 14psi

 

Much fuel was in the car? was it really low when going up the hill?

 

when your in nutural does it do this?


if so, phase sensor

 

cant access the video on this computer i'll have a look when im at home, it idles below 1k

 

possible air leak on the inlet side, my last one did this to me and baffled the fcuk outa me!! was fine then all of a sudden would do what u said, changed the plenum cover gasket and was fine after!!

 

i'll check that tomorrow, something i forgot to mention is that it's struggling to start, sometimes it takes 30 / 40 seconds to fire up then it's lumpy. could that be phase sensor?

 

any other info guys?

 

Crank or phase sensor, i'd check those first and work from there.
