Worth a try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hopefully)Only thing is the ETC light dosnt flash as far as iv seen whilst driving it. And yes. Iv tried resetting the TPS with the cranking at full throttle. ill plug a scanner back in.. Got a couple scanners here. So ill plug it back in again and see what comes up. Iv spoken to a friend who used to work at ford and I explained the problem. And he said everything that metalphreak has said in regards to the TPS. & PPSThe one thing he did add is the turbo actuator.And said its possible that the actuator is sticking and not opening. The computer recognizes this and cuts the throttle to prevent overboost (which is one of the codes that occurs after this fault) .. As I havnt seen any throttle codes come up yet. Does this make any sense? And is it possible this could be the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyraad Member 19 Member For: 12y 3m 26d Posted 18/09/12 10:20 AM Author Share Posted 18/09/12 10:20 AM So... After the weekend just passed iv come to the conclusion of my wastegate is rooted. Because it was opening up Sometimes the ECU would cut the throttle back to prevent overboosting and my motor going kabooom! Reasons iv decided is the car did not log any throttle codes which as said previously wud always log a code and only a "wastegate not open under pressure" code was always logged. And now. My actuator no longer opens. And havnt had any throttle loss. So.. Looks like its gonna be an expencive one. Bigger and better acutator, port and flapper mod to turbo. X3 flash and a tune.... Tops. Haha! Cheers for all the help everyone! and I hope this thread helps others too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like it had a limiter. Turned out the cat internals had broken away and turned sideways on the housing practically blocking the exhaust.

jayyraad Member 19 Member For: 12y 3m 26d Posted 18/09/12 10:32 AM Author Share Posted 18/09/12 10:32 AM It would always rev out in neutral or under load .. Jus the throttle wouldnt br anywhere near as responsive.. But as I said plugged scanner in several times. Not one throttle code only actuator code.
