sorry, but as a technician i can only assume you have the diagnostic skills of one of these...





because unplugging things randomly to see what happens basicly means you know absolutly nothing about how systems work....or what damage it could cause by doing things like that..

.not to mention the fact that unplugging a sensor and driving it, would probably mask ANY fault the car had anyway

try that on a small turbo esc cos then and see what happens....

yes a scanner would be a much better option than unplugging a vital sensor a driving it up the road....

my advice to you mate, is find a garage you trust, and who are capable of diagnosing your fault by testing sensors using correct methods,

dont go to somebody who wants to randomly guess, and change things without good reason first, as this basicly means they know nothing. and at the end of the day you will end up paying for all the work and materials they used...even though it hasnt cured your issue.

your problem could be any number of things, to many to list on here. and it seems you dont know enough to do your oe=wn diagnostics,

so i would save your time and money by finding someone good who can find the issue in as short a time as possible.
