Strange Incident Earlier Tonight, Opinions? Ideas?

[danb87]

Well was out at a meet tonight, on way out i accelerated up a hill boosting fine etc then i eased off when too accelerate again, but throttle was not responding atall, no matter how hard i pushed it the revs wouldn change.

Then when i got to the traffic lights car cut out, then when started again wouldn rev an just cut out again.

me mate pushed it round the corner then had a look under the bonnet couldn see any pipes or connectors disconneted etc check the emanage for flashing lights an all good there. so i left it for a minute, got it started reving etc then just floored it in first gear an it did the same again.

couldn start again after that so bumped it too get it going an no issue on the rest of journey tonight.

on the standard boost gauge on dash clocks it read full boost when it first occured. only thing i noticed on way home turbo seem too be very chattery which ive not noticed before either.

any one had an similar issues or ideas what it could be?

And the RPM wasn't stable at all when on idle?

light moment

you have a grinch under your hood disconnecting vac pipes and electrical connectors.. then putting them back together when you get out to open your hood..
sorry mate.. this is a strange one..

fuel pump/fueling related?

 

[_shaun_]

i had this on my old civic got so bad it ended up cutting out on the motorway when i was doing 90 and wouldnt start again ended up braking it car as 3 garages couldnt find what was wrong with it. hopefuly urs wont be same prob as mine

My first checks would be the coil and dizzy, then fuel system pump filter regulator injectors etc, also check the plugs for condition and colour. It's a bit a difficult fault especially if no eml came on!! Hope you get it sorted boss!

if it happens again try disconnecting the emu

try checking the little pipe that goes from the back of the inlet manifold and into the little black box thats behind the inlet manifold mine wasnt put back on after rolling road and had same issue might help sori dont know what the black box is called something for the boast i think

sounds like an ignition problem that. I would check the coil lead and the coil first off for any loose connections, bad connections and go from there it sounds like its probley something minor but the type of thing that may take some finding! good luck!

 

[Paul_JJ]

You didn't reply to my message. But yeah it looks like ignition problem - would recommend to replace the leads, dizzy cap and the rotor arm! I'm with ROB on this one -)

 

[danb87]

only just managed too get on here mate, its strange hasn done it since so couldn show me mechanic what it did lol. the revs were just holted at 3kish i think but throttle was not resonding. as first i thought something too do with the throttle butterfly jamming up. but no matter how hard i did throttle didn change it.

but now all seems good lol. strange

ive checked all leads etc an all seem of too be connected. but i need too have my mechanic check the injectors out an some other bits. hasn happened before an hasn happened again. lol

thanks for the input

Sounds fuelling related have you got a fuel pressure gauge hooked up and maybe swap another pump in.

Throttle position sensor same thing has happened to me before. Mine was the wiring for the throttle position sensor so it's worth checking the sensor and wiring.

fpr gauge is reading normal dude

yea another mate of mine said it could be this too me, best way too check it?

 

[AdamB]

Think you should be able to look at the log from the emanage mate. Failing that I think there's a thread in the helpful section on here, can't get a link as I'm on my phone. I know that it operates between 0 and 5 volts, 0 being closed and 5 being WOT.

 

[danb87]

haen had time too check that out yet, curious tho getting alot of chatter from turbo...... never had it since going forged/td04. started the same night. anything too worry about?

 

[AdamB]

You got a wideband mate? As long as it's a good reading you should be fine. Only other thing is if it's chattering a lot, this can be caused by chipped compressor blades.

i have the turbo meshed so that could be a reason, but would it effect the boost etc if they were damaged? its only if im gentle of the throttle. if i full throlle an quick of it it dumps lol but i dont hear ther chatter then as dump valves loud lol

 

[AdamB]

Yeah you won't really notice it on full throttle. I would tale the mesh off and have a look mate, only a 10 min job. Not sure if it would affect boost, but I'm sure it will effect it someway or another.
