JackV Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Ok so this just started happening, and i dont know what is going on. But when i go WOT anything after 4K it just sputters like it's hitting a fuel cut, but i know it's not. It just started happening about a week ago. and i dont know what could cause it. it's a 1.8 turbo, compression is 150psi across the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Ah yes - the lonesome and empty feelings of regret when the much maligned EA82T bites back. Much like a pitbull - many of them seem to strike without warning.... unless you count the warnings from this board of course. Unfortunately there is no way we can help without a lot more information. It could be almost anything - and given the primitive nature of the EA82T's systems - it's highly likely that it's more than one thing.

Gloyale Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Is the CEL on? What are the codes? Fuel cut right at 4000 sounds like either a speed sensor, or TPS being bad or giving bad readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackV Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 it was the maf that died, it was reading 3v just at idle so it was just dumping fuel in for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
