just had my car checked yesterday everythin was fine and even done a compression test which shown good figures, but last nite when i took my car for a spin:


I hit about 6krpm in 2nd gear. After that I got all the neat your-motor-is-dead symptoms: Loss of power, very erradic boost, . I was not boosting high, . i managed to drive my car home, just, I went home and check for lumpy idle but the car died and will not start.

Usually the car will start when the motor is blown (correct?) but has poor idle and vacuum. The car will turn over but chugs and will not start. Could there be another issue with the motor, such as a blown off hose?

got a local mechanic came to look at it and he said there is deffinatley fuel goin in as i suggested may b fuel pump??as he can hear the relay click!and he think is somethin wrong with the ignition, mind the spark plug was fitted about a mth ago and done less that 200 miles.

PLEASE HELP,THANKS!

Haha, first dibs -- check your map sensor hose to make sure it's connected on both ends.

If that's not it, time for another compression check...

good luck

 

could u tell me where is the map sensor hose please???and is it easy to get to and check???


thx

sam

 

its on the driver side right under the hood attached to the fire wall

 

its a small black box with a small black hose coming out of the side and bottom that very same thing happened to me you will have to let the car sit for a couple days and then try starting it again

 

if u have aim mine is sucksturbo

 

Sam, check your PMs.

You don't have to let the car sit for a few days or anything. If the hose came loose, you WILL have to reset the ecu to get it out of limp home mode. To reset the ecu, disconnect the negative battery cable and press on the brake pedal for 30 seconds.

 

i had just checked and the map sensor hose was connected so is not the map sensor, i really dont understand it as it happens after i took it to about 6krpm and the oil pressure shoot to the top so i change it to third and oil pressure back to half way,then is the power loss......can anyone help???is there somethin to do may be with the electronic??

sam

 

will it be a failed injectors??


sam

 

i still think its ur sensor cause i had the same exact things happen to mine and it was the boost map sensor

 

but everythin was connected so could that be a failed map sensor???

also there is a balck connector between the pipe with a arrow pointin towards the manifold??is this right??

sam

 

the oil sensor reach the top? um...pull the spark plug..see if there's any engine oil...

 

will u get flooded when u were drivin too??

sam

 

yea flooded i thought that was what was wrong with it at first that it had just somehow flooded itslef out but later after talking to my shop he told me to check the boost sensor and that fixed it. after u plug it back in it will still have some of those same symptoms. i let mine sit in idle for a long time until it quit smokin and stuff then drove it around the block and the next day it was fine.

 

yea i just went and looked at mine and the arrow on mine is pointing towards the manifold as well.

 

but my FD now wont even start, just turn over and drainin my battery

i m givin up and having the car towed to the speicialist to have it check
