What does this mean? Please help!

yeah you will just be in limp mode, 5psi, not 6/7.

Hence why its feels sluggish.

YOu just need to try a new n75, i bet its sending dodgy signals, ive had the same when the boost controller was wired up wrong.

Oh more problems! You know what, i went to the garage on Tuesday to pay my bill for when they replaced my 'bottom hose'

One of the blokes wasnt there but the other said 'Hows it running?' and i said 'Yeah its fine', i suppose i shouldnt have said that

What makes these break though, is it wear and tear?

Is it ok to drive?

 

[andycupra]

sounds like another hose to check!

have you checked the dv also. ok its a forge, so they dont tend to break. just make sure the top is done up tight as they can come undone.

as for N75, you could unplug it and see how it goes if there are not any others around you can borrow.
would most likely drive slower than usual with it unplugged. but if this clears the tickover etc id say thats a good pointer..

finally, dont forget the good old maf.
one of the things that points to a dodgy maf can be on start up. if the signals from the maf are not as expected the car can stall (revs go up and down) or hunt until the car adapts. (
My experience of a dodgy maf had the car stall, or almost stall then rev up and then almost stall then rev up then almost stall and so on...)
seems in this case the car was very bad on start up then has got better?

so id try unplugging the maf and N75, (one at a time) to eliminate these as this is easy to do.
then if this makes no difference start looking at your pipes.

Hhmm i had a new MAF about six months ago and when that went last time the Engine Management light came on? Wouldnt the light come on again if it was something like this or doesnt it work like that?

I will try and do what you all suggest tonight if i can

My maf was knackered but my engine light wasn't on, only noticed it was knackered form low g/s readings when i did some logging.

Try the N75 valve first alex,

Dont let it get you down tho, it will be an easy fix and thankfully not much £

Chin up hun

My last MAF including fitment was about £170 so if its that then im

Im going on holiday in a week so need all my money

 

[CupraTgirl]

Can anyone tell me what my MAF should be reading as i will do some logging tonight?

 

[The_one]

110 - 120g/s i think. someone will correct me no doubt.


£170 for the maf!!

I paid £70 for mine from a dealer the other week!!

Im sure mine was reading 130g/s last time i had it logged? I may be wrong

So this could either be:-

1. Hose leaking air

2. Dump Valve Sticking

3. Dodgy N75

4. Dodgy MAF

Is that right? Any other things possible?

 

[The_one]

Pretty much going to be one of the above but would be surprised if it was a boost leak

 

[J@mes]

It started fine this morning, i think there was a tiny flicker in idle but bearing in mind when you turn it on after being off overnight it does vary a bit because of the choke...

injection cars dont have choke alex! (carbs do! )

 

[The_one]

They do have a choke

 

[CupraTgirl]

Yeah ok but you know what i mean

 

[CupraTgirl]

They do have a choke

WAYHEY i was right

 

[CupraTgirl]

Is my car ok to drive if its any of these things? I have two long journeys to do before i go on holiday and need to know if its going to be safe to do them?

 

[The_one]

Well cars in limp mode so theoretically holding back to stop any damage being done.

Weather you want to take it or not is your own personal preference hun.

Just try to keep it off boost

I havent been taking it above 3000RPM but for motorway driving thats harder to do

Looks like my weekend plans may have to change

 

[andycupra]

if it does turn out to be the maf, get it exchange from a dealer. should be around £75-£85.

dont get charged for fitting it, its really easy, 2 min job.

 

[J@mes]

no they dont fella!

they have cold start, not a choke!

as said carbs have choke, injection doesnt!

 

[J@mes]

WAYHEY i was right

no ur not!
