jimmymac101 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) This happened in my NA, turned it was my collent temp sensor! James Edited December 10, 2013 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Also mine wouldn't restart easily if it was a cold start, hot starts were ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Mine starts fine hot or cold. Changed the coolant a few times over the past week to get the turbo kit off. Was fine Saturday and Sunday after fixing that though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 When was the last time your spark plugs were changed?James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Not sure tbh, its on my list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Also removed aircon pump recently and noticed a drop in the idle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 car started and ran fine this morning.. just a bit of moisture somewhere maybe? Gonna change the spark plugs for piece of mind anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Still happening, keepa cutting out while driving and getting dangerous.. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corofin12345 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 you will loose idle after removing the a/c// just re adjust the idle screw under the rubber grommet on the top of the throttle body.. as for management light coming on.. do a self diagnostic, it will tell you exactly why the light came on and may source the actual problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Tried to do the self-diagnostics and had no luck, was following a guide on TGT. But was in a rush. Did notice it only happens after i put my foot down and reach full boost. Driving slow it never happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Fuel cut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 nope not fuel cut, it'll boost fine then when i cruise again the revs will keep dropping. Without doing the diagnostics, im guessing its something to do with the spark plugs/ignition they look old and 'crusty'. But i don't get why if i drive slow with no boost its fine. Starts up in the morning fine too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 When boosting it sends more volts through the leads then not boosting so if your leads are braking down you will get a slight judder/misfire on boost! I would still try and do diagnostics test to be sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Its fine when boosting thats the strange thing, but then off boost it starts misfiring/juddering. Did try a diagnostic:>let the car get to temp>turned off>bridged connection with paperclip e1 to te1 or whatever it is>turned ignition to on light just stays on and doesn't flash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 this is what mike from TD sent me when I was having problems mate :Check your earths and maybe add a couple of extras to help things.ECU codes, in the diagnostic port under the bonnet, bridge TE1 and E1 with a paperclip, then put your ignition to the on position, count the flashes from the ECU light and let me know what the codes are.It'll give you two numbers for each code, with a pause between them, ie:Flash... Flash... Flash........................... FlashThat would be code 31 CheersMike @ TDAs far as I'm aware there's not a need to warm her up first if there's a fault the ecu would have stored it until the battery is disconnected for 5-10mins / ecu disconnected Hope that helps abit James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hmm You must not have the clip sat in write on e1 to te1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
