akyakapotter Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 As above was having a bit of a spirited drive to work this morning. (EVO in front of me's fault) Noticed on half throttle it would fly along but as soon as I put my toe right to the floor it was bogging down / holding back any ideas on this ?? Thanks nick Quote
micky boy Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Power should be built not flogged that could be half of the problem lol..But on another note as it always been like this or has it just started bogging down? Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) to be fair mate ive just noticed it today was going some seen mr evo put my foot to the floor and it just felt like it didnt want to give me any more but i know full well there is lots more very strange. could be my lambda sensor ? only cost me £11 and ive used bullet conectors to attatch the wires togther as i didnt have a soldering iron at the time.

pick1 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Strange problem that mate does it mis-fire or anything or just big rite down ?? Quote
funny onion Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Mine was the same, turne out to be Fueling. Even if it doesn't feel like a misfire. Get a wideband on it as check the Fueling I'd say. Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Does it feel like your hitting the restrictor? Engine management light popping up at the same time? Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Ive got a wide band between 14.7 - 14.9 when warm on idle and 12.1 full boost no engine light no Quote
micky boy Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Sure its just not turbo lag in 5th gear? im gessing this is only happing in 5th gear? if you feel it bog down then drop down a gear Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Only got them about 2months ago will whip them out at some point and check them I'll strap the TD04 on soon see what it's like then lol Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Sure its just not turbo lag in 5th gear? im gessing this is only happing in 5th gear? if you feel it bog down then drop down a gear Dose it in every gear it's just as if on full throttle it decied no not giving you anything then let off a tiny bit and it like thank you and goes like fook lol Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Do you have a ebc? If so might be worth Playing with the settings. Had the same sorta thing on my old black one. Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 yeah i do mate i have a hks evc 4 Quote
ForgedV Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I had the same problem on my GT changed the map sensor and igniter pack and it was fine. Maybe even throttle position switch/ sensor? Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 so worth doing a diognistics check on it then see if i get any codes ill do it tomorrow map sensors a fooking expensive lol Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 forogot to add have a 255L fuel pump to fit will this make things any better apparantly im runnig a bit lean on full boost. Quote
funny onion Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Mine runs at a higher afr than that and it's fine. But every car is different I suppose. And im not telling you to knock the fueling back before anyone starts. Maybe try setting throttle position up with a multimeter. Really it an only be air, fuel or spark, or a sensor doing weird things to the ecu. (don't think it would be the ecu itself). Just going to be a case of eliminating as you try different things. I'd check the gaps on the plugs, check leads dizzy and rotor, then start checking tps, air temp sensor etc. But I am known to be overly paranoid Edited June 19, 2012 by funny onion Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 Been talking with nick from td said to drop the pressure down a little and it will run a little richer more down to rocking 1 bar with out decent management looks like I'll be going up there sooner ryrher than later Quote
