SteakSniffingLion Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Good evening Ladies and Gentleman. I was just coming back from a little drive when I gave it a bit of a poke, maybe 75% throttle, probably making 13psi when all power was lost and a great plume of black smoke ensured. I pulled over to the side and the car stalls at idle, I managed to limp it the 1km back home, whilst limping it would not allow me to rev it past 1500rpm without it coughing and spluttering. Engine is a NEO6 with a newly (<500kms) rebuilt high flow turbo. You can free rev the engine a bit, bit will stall straight on idle, thinking it maybe the AFM? it does read .05v on the SW check and does change voltage with a light rev though. Hoping it's not the turbo as it's freshly rebuilt, AND I am supposed to be leaving for QLD tomorrow morning, grrr. If anyone could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.

But I didn't see the one that was blown off! oops Thanks for that mate, seem like a bit of a goose now, but a now happy goose, I'll put that sucker back on and hopefully we'll be laughing. I am moving to Queensland, leaving tomorrow actually, I've heard good things about ERD, I'll give you a call when I need work done, thanks mate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278332-sudden-loss-of-power-wont-idle-or-drive-above-1500rpm/#findComment-4703643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
