Raz Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was driving along for about one and a half hour, so everything was pretty hot, then i started driving fast which it did fine leaving everyone behind.. Then at the lights i stopped for about 1 min if that and then put my foot down again and it was refusing to go above 3K, the RPM started going up and down when near 3K RPM and jolted as if the turbo is working, then stops, then works etc or fuel gets cut or something, but car din't turn off. if that is fuel cut..Any ideas what is happening, I let the car cool down once i got to work, it cooled down for about 30 mins, before coming home and i gave it some beans and it was fine and began spinning the wheels, but after a few times of doing that it went back to the same problem din't wanna rev over 3K, it was dumping fine and loud too, re circulating fine too. Its fitted with CT 9what the fuck is going on.. ;) ;) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 What is the spec on the engine?What boost you running?Have you got a boost gauge or adjustable actuator?Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 as said above what boost you running??? and adjustable actuator and boost gauge will give you a more accurate reading into this as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well its a Standard Glanza Engine standard internals apart from CT 9, no boost gauge or adjustable actutator as far as i know. Once all 3 boost lights turn on it stop reving over 3k.Do i need a boost gauge then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 every turbo car needs a boost guage. it doesnt sound like fuel cut to me. when you hit fuel cut your engine management light will come on then your car will stutter like a missfire. did it do thatdo a search on here how to do a diagnostic check its really easy and could tell you your problem.

Raz Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes it does stutter. if you shift down it revs above 3K, but if you put your foot down in the same gear it flies to 3K then stutters!-EDIT-I'll give it a go with the boost restriction on and see what it does.

Raz Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I will buy a boost gauge, once you tell me how to put it on lol. You might actaully be correct with the cold air explanation. do you have same prob? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You might actaully be correct with the cold air explanation. do you have same prob?last time i drove my starlet the sun was shining mate lol but it happens with all turbo cars some worse than others. do you have an adjustable actuator? you could turn the boost downa bit. do you have an open air filter on the car? you could restrict that a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 its got some HKS filter, adjustable actuator.. I don't know lol I'm guessing it isn't, not sure though I been driving it so much though, Its never had this problem since i bought it untill yesterday, where my sister in law drove it in the morning taking my nephew to school without warming it up :@ and knowing her, she does push the cars.I also been using a fuel system cleaner in the last week? Anything to do with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anything to do with that?id doubt it had anything to do with fuel system cleaner. more than likley a bit of milld boost creep. get a boost gauge and in the meantime dont rag it or youll keep hitting fuelcut and if you see the engine managment light come off the throttle and you wont hit fuel cut. fuelcuts a pain in the ass but its there for a reason, to protect your engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'll get a boost gauge soon, i can feel it giving more boost, it begins wheel spinning alot more then before, and i was getting torque steer and i didn't even give it alot of beans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
