toadthepimp Posted January 25, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe one of the cylinders has went? Or plugs not sparking? Best to get it checked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm only guessing but maybe tps or map related... try running a engine diagnostics check Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neilsmith Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Sounds like Throttle Position Sensor or some kind of Missfire Neil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadthepimp Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted January 26, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
asbo-v Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Jumped belt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadthepimp Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 8, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted February 8, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
