ANOTHER 3 DOOR PROBLEM
Went to get the car out the garage today for the 1st time in a few weeks, and the car wont rev no more than 2800 rpm (when the turbo comes in) soon as it his 2800rpm the red light on the dash comes on and the car goes to stall .............................then the idle valve keeps it alive.
Does anyone know what is causing this
Cheers

sounds like it's a boost problem and engine management is closing it down(safe mode) start by checking ALL connection,amal valve and ecu plug at a guess!

check the tps sensor and also a try another ecu L1 or a L6 one out of a saff (with a standard or stage 1 chip) WILL do just to try out straight plug in with NO other changes needed!
