Hi I got I problem, I got my afm cleaned by my mechanic and ever since, my car wants to make me head but my windshield at high revs, any ideas? Plus he mentioned some hoses are connected to the wrong things, factory bov hose and standard boost controller, I'm in Sydney if anybody can see the car and clarify things for me, plus any diagrams of where the hoses are suppose to go would be great

What do u mean about the windshield

[jjman]

as in head-butt i think.

so its pulling and then misfiring at high rpm?

either that or going into R&R hard too...

[Ant_r33]

Yeh it pulls then its like a cut and throws me forward, I really don't no where to start in diagnosing

[jjman]

sounds like R&R rather than a misfire.

My first thought based on your description of recent work done on the car is that the lines to the boost controller etc are now wrong and it is running unlimited boost.

Hence pulling hard and then slamming into R&R when it runs off the map.

Check this out very thoroughly as if it is it wouldnt be long till you throw the turbo's guts down the exhaust...

otherwise it may also be pinging hard also causing the R&R which means motor life is being threatened too.

go to a reputable workshop and get them to sort it id say as the stakes could be pretty high here.

It's still running standard boost, when I say the hoses are wrong the hose that goes to the stock bov still goes there but is t pieced and another hose goes to the standard boost controller, I believe the boost controller should be connected to the front mount instead? But there is no where to put it, what do you mean by R and R ? Thanks

[jjman]

have you got a boost gauge to tell what the turbo/boost is doing?

only way to tell...

R&R is rich n retard- a setting the pumps excess fuel and retards the timing in order to prevent damage to the motor.

stock ECU has this setting and isnt afraid to use it lol.

im not going to advise over the net what to do with ur setup. only advice is to get it sussed by a professional.
