Socks Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 im down road from you. and from what your describing... it sounds like Fuel Cut as the helpfulo people above have said...FUel Cut is the ECU's safe Limit, because too much boost is being built up, so it cuts the spark plugs out, which is what causes the huge bang (fuel going through engine into exhaust)So if you have a boost gauge, see what its boosting too and let us know, gurantee it'll be above the safe limit of around 0.8bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giggz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Sounds like fuel cut. Easy enough to fix, if you havent got a boost gauge get 1 asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 He does have a boost boost gauge. Does it have an adjustable actuator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 he said its external wastegate so the boost should be fairly set at .8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Just a helpfull tip stop ragging it round until you sort this problem out , fuel cut is no good for your car and it will not go away until you sort the issue out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Torturedglitch Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 which should i replace first fcd or actuator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 right, here we go. answer these questions1. do you have an external waste gate?2. if no, look down between the rad and manifold, there will be a like 2 inches long, one end goes into a cylinder, the other end hooks onto the turbo - is this bar threaded (if you do have an ext waste gate you might not have one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Torturedglitch Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 yes external and yes do have actuator and yes its thredded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You can't have an exteral wategate and an actuator? Get some engine bay pics up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You can't have an exteral wategate and an actuator? Get some engine bay pics upunless teh wastegate isnt welded shut, its just the actuator arm is really long, so it never opens the gate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
