Lightbulb my frst engine problem

<a href="http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/s...paintcozzy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/s...paintcozzy.jpg" border="0" alt="bens signature"></a>

escort mk5 xr3i it was now escort mk5 efi rs turbo with t3 and ofac loom&ecu&map/sensor strait throuh exhaust , xr3i gearbox
problem is the car runs on idle and slow throttle as i hit the throttle fast even at a distance of 2mm ish it cuts all engine power as soon as you lift of the throttle all revs are as usal
ive checked and fitted new well all the sensors,coil,fuel rail loom,two types of loom and ecu ofac and ofab with matching map/sensors...
none of this has solved the problem any more ideas guys n girls

Strange one mate, as I say mine done similar when it was on the OFAC loom and OFAB ECU but you tried that?

Agree with above, if your about tomorrow morning I can turn the boost down for you if it will make a difference if that doesnt work I agree, take it to Jano.

Take your car over to Grove garage, Hornchurch, they are not too far away from your location, and they would diagnose and fix your issue in minutes, may save you alot of hassle in the long run..Ahmed Bayjoo and the boys know their stuff..
