Spoon_tuned Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Right guys been having problems with my idle so today i messed around with the tps and replaced some vacuum lines took tmic piping off etc etc put all back together idling just under 1k now took it for a drive felt so much faster i was shocked how much quicker it felt...Heres the problem after 5 mins i have that stupid whistling sound come back on boost and then it hasn't got as much power and sometimes has a slight miss fire...I think maybe tps is completely knackerd but since that whistling im losing power would this be anything to do with TPS SENSOR???

Socks Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 TPS's wouldn't cause a whistle.. It obv sounds like a boost leak... All clamped up nice and tight? What boost are you building on your boost gauge? When it whistles, do you notice less boost on the gauge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it could be the intercooler piping as ive took all that off today.. Deffo sounds like a leak though.The engine management flashed up briefly when it miss fired.But ealry it was flying felt so much better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah you might of cured a leak allowing it to boost better, bringing you into fuel cut realm! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be fuel cut!I have a Gauge in my cousins glanza lol gta get it back off him..That miss fire was when it wasn't boosting as good .I think maybe piping tbh stock gt's are a nightmare to work on have to keep taking the top mount off to get to stuff lolYeah you might of cured a leak allowing it to boost better, bringing you into fuel cut realm!Didn't hit fuel cut when it was boosting properly lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
