Engine Struggling?

[Smithy_dub]

Totally standard Glanza, been driving for a few hours so it's all warmed up, but when i put my foot down it seems to hesitate... also when idling it judders slightly and the idel goes up and down between about 700-900...

Any ideas?

Missfire?

check your plugs and leads... change them if needed, that will proberly solve your problem.

when was it last serviced? knock sensor could be playing up in the cold weather.

[Smithy_dub]

I'll check the plugs and leads tomorrow..

Where's the knock sensor and how would i check it?

This is pissing me off now, i drive the car around to warm it up for like 20 minutes but even then, when i put my foot down at normal speeds, second or third gear, it doesnt seem to boost properly..

It's hard to explain, it's not fuel cut cause i havnt once seen the engine management light, but like, if im coasting along with slight throttle, then plant it, the boost lights dont always all light up, an it doesnt pull smoothly..

had it all before mate, kinda feels as if your trying to drive through water... that car wants to go but just feels like it's pulling back for some reason.

there could be a few possibilities check out my build thread on my glanza for more help.

but my first thing would be to change to plugs and leads, plugs could have got slightly damp. next up check the condition of your dizzy cap/rota arm change them if need be.

also have you tried a diagnostic test, perhaps try that and see if any codes pop up

[Smithy_dub]

I'll check plugs and leads, i cant even afford to replace them for a few weeks though

dizzy and plugs and leads, maybe a vac hose split or leaking, had this with my skyline last week as cold weather fucks already brittle hoses. check all breathers and vacumes dude.

Only one i can think of is the 90 degree tube from the standard I/C pipe to the BOV, i had to modify it to fit cause i couldnt find a Samco reducer that was the right size

well until you start replacing stuff and reporting back wether it helped or not there isnt much we can do apart from give you possible ideas to what it might be.

we cant give you a simple 'it will be this' but we can point you to a possible cause.

loads of advice has been given, so when you get a moment change over some parts and come back a tell us if it helped or did nothing and then we can go from there.

[Smithy_dub]

I'll defo check all the tubes though, probably something ive done..

Sounds like a missfire mate, as above could be plugs, leads, dizzy, rotor etc.

Or maybe got a little bit of damp in the plugs/leads could try spraying abit of wd40 around the plug and leads might cure it and will be cost effective

[silverglanza]

i must admit i had a prob like this but only every now and then like if i were in low revs in 3rd and i planted it it would like go bump then go bump get me i change plugs and leads

[Smithy_dub]

Sound guys will check them soon as
