MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 16y 6m 22d Posted 12/02/10 11:43 PM Share Posted 12/02/10 11:43 PM Hi,Wondering if these symptoms are from a blocked cat. Stock exhaust still.This is progressively becoming worse, say I'm at 80km/h in 5th gear and I acelerate to 100km/h the car will struggle to get there, in fact the more acceleration the more the car seems to slow down. Boost guage is reading correct boost. Turbo spools like normal, car just doesn't take off. A couple of times at slower speed I have booted it from rolling start and it hesitated for a couple of seconds then took off like it was fitted with afterburners.So the more load, the more deceleration it feels like. Uphills I have to drop it back several gears where previously that wouldn't be an issue.Have done the following in the last month:-New coils-New .9mm iridium plugs-New oil and filter-New fuel filter-New gearbox oilProblems I know about:-Leaky PS pump-Leaky rocker cover gasketThanks in advance!

I'm going to take a guess and say you have a fuel flow problem.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
