Entire engine shut down
I have recently had a rebuilt engine put back into my 1986 Series 4 by a mechanic. He has basically just done a straight engine swap a 13bt for a 13bt. But the problem now is that when you try to boost the car above about 2 pound the whole engine just shuts down. With my other engine it used to cut the fuel out when you hit 10 pound boost, but this feels and sounds totally different. Once in third, fourth, or fifth gear if you press the accelerator gently down it will eventually boost up to 10 pound and fuel cut. Some 4 or 5 rotary specialists have had a look at it and haven't had any luck finding the problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I have now had the car off the road for over 6 months and really miss driving it! Is there something simple we are just over looking or is the problem deeper than that??????

Nothing that has been suggested has worked, if I disconnect the AFM the car doesn't run at all and they have already looked at timing issues which isn't the problem.

Does it just turn off?
If it starts to bog and back fire when getting on boost, could be a boost leak.
If it feels like a fuel cut.. are you sure all injectors are working? Whats the fuel pressure like? Change fuel pump sock filter, and fuel filter and time recenty?
Thats all I can think of.. good luck.

Throttle position sensor,it detects that you are giving it gas and when you are not.Do a search in this section on how to adjust it.Also try pulling the codes from the ecu as well.

well today i accidentally sliced into my vacume hose going to the vacume/boost sensor and the car would start run fine for about 5 sec and then just stall
maybe your problem is something to do with the boost sensor/wiring/vacume hose??

I was just talking to my mechanic and they have kind of narrowed it down to an overboost problem, it has the fuel cut defender installed and now they are finding a new boost sensor just in case, I still don't think it feels like a fuel cut though.
