if anyone has anyidea why my car wont rev over 4000rpm let me know it wont idel under 2000 so im stuck with 2000revs of movment cars pretty much undriveable plus im worried if i carry on driving it it will pop plus boost cuts out at 3500 im lost pissed and fink ill get a new escort !!!


when i floor it it sticks at 4000 and sounds like its redlining

 

could be your fuel meterng head playing silly buggers, or feul pump,

is it your thread about not being able to fill up the car with petrol????

it could be linked to this. rs turbos dont like fuel problems>>

id get the car down to a specialist before some thing major lets go.

power engineering or jamsprt are good.

 

i havent got any specielst near me down south and woodfords the only ford garage that deals with rs turbs but there very expensive would be cheaper to buy a new rsturbo lol im praying it ant anything serious id be gutted

yeah my other thread is about the filling hate it

fuel pump they easy to fit ??

 

Get down to oddkidds there only in essex

 

throttle position sensor maybe i took mine off and put it back on in the wrong position and mine wouldnt rev above 5500 give it a go see what happens try turning it a bit or even getting your hands on another one could be wrong but worth a try maybe

 

fuel pump isnt difficult to fit.

you can test the resistance across all of the management sensors to make sure they are functioning properly. get a rs turbo technical manual and an test meter.

 

When did it last have a fuel filter?

What condition are the boost hoses in?

 

boost hoses are soft as poo payday im getting a new set fuel filter im not sure only had the car 6 weeks

wheres the throttle position sensor im polishing it ill av a look now ???

its dooing my head in its had a polished throttle thingy put on could sumthing be lose around this ??

 

hello mate

have you sorted the filling problem?

My cabby used to release a shit load of pressurised air when i took the cap off until i fixed my problem.

I also had a serious warm start problem, used to take about 3 minutes of non stop cranking to start it!!

I wouldnt be surprised if your driving problem is a result of the same fault.

let me know what youve done so far and ill try and help

 

ive removed the filler cap got a std one doesnt hiss when i take it off but even when i put a tiny bit of petrol cums rite back up as a froth or foam and pissis out i take on average 20 mins to fill it 10quid getting worse im losing my nut with it !!

i love me turb and when its all fixed ill love it more just proper doing me head in

ive tryed red ex etc in the petrol and im going to replace the fuel filter but im still worried bout the fact it wont rev over 4000rpm

could this be due to completlly fooked camz ?

help pls peeps

 

if i were you mate i would get the arse end up in the air and have the whole tank off, those filler pipes are a slag to change with the tank on aswell.

But i'd wip it off and check everything out.

I personally think the driving problem is also linked to this, fuel starvation.

Could be fucked cams, but if the cam was that fucked, it would be tapping like a bitch aswell.

Does yours tap?

 

mine taps louder then a fooking fooked ragged transit van !!!

it just seems to be so many things at the mo !!!

shame u dont live closer mate would pay ya too av a butchers

cheeRS mate

 

LOL

thats the way these things go mate, always annoying, this time a year ago i was converting my cabby to turbo, on the road in march, cam went in may, and been off road ever since, missed all that sunny summer.

cheers for the offer mate sound as fook

 

oh right only a GOOD FEW hours drive then LOL

duno i'd still be tempted to come and have a look im always tempted by a challenge

Oh and as for your windows, the law states they have to let 80% of light in, sad reality is most cars with the factory tint border on these figures, so even doing a full light tint is illegal, although you usually get away with this, its when the police can only see your fag glowing through the tint you tend to get pulled

 

LOL very true las car me rs2k had full limos got pulled alot
