So heres a bit of background. When the engine is below normal operating temp it runs fine, but as soon as it reaches operating temp it starts cutting out, like at traffic lights when I pull away, I just touch the throttle and it dies, then struggles but starts, and as you pull a way its as if the engine cuts out for milliseconds but comes back alive. It also seems to reach fuel cut at much lower boost than normal. In the past I could boost up to 0.9bar but now I struggle to get 0.7 without it cutting out. I've replaced the intake air temp sensor and coolant temp sensor with the ones I had in my other engine but it stays the same.
Now whats weird to me is that I live at an altitude of 1650m, and this is where the car seems to be most problematic. Twice I've been on holiday for more than a month at a time to a place with an altitude of about 950m, and the cutting out at pull away and shuddering completely stops after I've been here for a few weeks, but when I go back to the higher altitude the problem slowly creeps back. Is this not odd? At low altitude I only have the problem of the car reaching fuel cut early so it might be more than one problem.
I'm at low altitude right now and I just did a diagnostic and got the code 12. I know it means no rpm, tdc signal, but I dont really know what that means or what to look for.
So if anyone can just point me in some direction or give me some advice I'd appreciate it very much! I've been struggling with this problem for months and I'd really like to get my car back to normal.
Thank you!
