Cape Town calling again- nature of problem changed

[Steve Irwin]

Hi

See earlier subject.

After disconnecting the MAP sensor, it seemed to stop the problem. Now it has changed to when you try to accelerate hard, especially if you are in too higher a gear, the engine bogs down compleyely.

Is this because the MAP sensor is not compensating or is it indicative of the AFS being the main culprit or maybe even the ECU??? :?

As previously mentioned I am getting no output (zero volts) on the diagnostic pin 16 of the ECU.

Any ideas on how to isolate the problem?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards

Steve Irwin

When you disconnected the MAP sensor did you plug the vacuum/ pressure tube? Iff not it will be bleeding boost.

It might be running rich? Disconnecting your MAP sensor tends to do this

The car has no turbo at the moment. Yes the pipe is plugged. I don't think it is just only running rich as the engines falters completely under high load conditions (intermittently).

Running rich down low (computer isnt thinking the car is on boost) wouldnt be so much a problem - you might have a shitty idle (but what starion does idle well), but up high when the computer says ok he is flogging it - lets leave the injectors WIIDDEEE open

Just a thought

I havent read your other post but personally i'd just go buy a turbo!
