toadthepimp Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hello, today the glanza decided to not rev above 2k.It idles fine (although perhaps a little smokey?) but out of gear foot to floor, it's as if the limiter is now 2k and it just slowly bounces between 1.5 and 2k.. It's therefor totally undrivable haven't really looked much yet as I had to go to the dentist... What a great day!! LolAny thoughts are gratefully received Quote
JLF88 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe one of the cylinders has went? Or plugs not sparking? Best to get it checked. Quote
TurboTobz Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I'm only guessing but maybe tps or map related... try running a engine diagnostics check Quote
neilsmith Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Sounds like Throttle Position Sensor or some kind of Missfire Neil. Quote
toadthepimp Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 It was once an auto so not running tps.. And it idles fine, low compression would surely make it spluttery? Sparks might be it, got standard ht leads... Quote
JLF88 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I had an issue where mine had popped off the plugs. Get a volt meter and check the leads to rule them out Quote
toadthepimp Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Just to clear this up, replaced the vac tubes on top of engine and it still done it. But only the first two attempts, then it just revved right up! And is now fine! A bit strange... :/ Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 i would think missfire but it would have to be pretty serious not to rev over 2k at idle when the car isnt under load ? Quote
turbo Grant Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 If it's bouncing around the 2k mark I would say it's some thing to do with the tps signal. Even tho your not running one Quote
