wados Member 617 Member For: 20y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 08/05/08 06:42 AM Share Posted 08/05/08 06:42 AM just the last couple of days I have had a problem under heavy power foot to the floor the car feels like it isnt getting enough fuel, it feels like when traction control kicks in.Only under heavy power does it do it not when say half way to the floor that's ok and also if I slowly build the revs up to around 4000rpm then hit the accelerator its fine.I thought it might be either fuel pump or maybe fuel filter, cause today I hit and it cut in and out then all of a sudden I had full power again like something was blocking the fuel line then all of a sudden it was gone.any ideas would be greatthankswade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was driving home exited outta the roundabout and gunned it. Had it in manual mode, 1st gear was good, hit second and it felt like it didnt have any balls, changed to third and I was like WTF was that, changed to 4th and gave it a bit more and it felt normal again.....I have a walbro 341 which is only a few months old, so I dunno about a pump failure... Maybe I got a doggy one??BTW my tank is nearly full so it wasnt surging... Edited 08/05/08 07:27 AM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
