Alright about 2 hours ago i was drivin down the highway..everything was fine as usual. Then as i wnet to rev it a bit it got to about 3grand then just wouldn't go anymore. The engine sort of shuddered, and the car shook but i couldn't rev it past 3grand in any gear. Then as i decided to drive home it got worse...couldn't rev it past 2 grand. Then as i stopped at the lights the car stalled..started her up again and unless i give it some gas it would just stall. Got home...looked for air leaks etc..nothing i could find. Started her up again...everyithing was fine, perfect.

Took it out for a bit of a drivve and after 10-15 minutes it started doin the same thing...would let me rev that much..the engine shuddering all the time i put my foot on the gas slightly. Then when i go to stop or slow down it just stalls.

Anyone know anything that could be the cause of this.

IF this helps my car is running very rich atm...like i get 260 to a tank. My mods a full 3" zorst and airfilter runnin stock boost

ThnX

limp home mode is in autos only i believe , thats where it goes into shit mode becuase somethings ****ed , so after a certain time like 10 mins it is starting to happen hmm , well if its not happening until the engine warms up , then maybe there is ur problem somewere , check fuel pump . filter , thats all i can think of

limp home mode:

the ecu thinks there is something wrong, such as sensors failing and therefore assumes stuff is bad and wont rev past 2500 rpm (ish) its in both auto and manual, the most common cause of limp home mode is dead or faulty air flow meter, the ecu doesnt know how much air is coming therefore it assumes its only a little to prevent running dangerous lean mixtures etc..

check all piping, intercooler, plenum, throttle body, etc for leaks

Have u been playing arround under ur bonnet.Have a look to see if your air flow meter has any loose connectors or worn n shagged cables.A dodgey signal to the computer could be it.

Also check your that you are getting proper spark.It could be that your coil if shafted.injector cables and connectors wouldnt hurt either.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
