FG turbo xr6 ute New Member 5 Member For: 3y 8m 29d Posted 12/03/21 01:42 AM Share Posted 12/03/21 01:42 AM My turbo engine in my ute starts and idles, but won't rev and nearly stalls out when pushing down on the accelerator. Has anyone come across this problem. Check engine light is NOT showing on the dash.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG turbo xr6 ute New Member 5 Member For: 3y 8m 29d Posted 12/03/21 02:28 AM Author Share Posted 12/03/21 02:28 AM Thanks mate. I have removed the intake pipe off the throttle body and all is ok. Its clean and the butterfly valve opens when the pedal is down. Now what's happening is with the engine idling and I push the pedal to the floor, the engine hesitates and nearly stalls, but then will spike and rev right up. Its a manual and has no power to take off and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG turbo xr6 ute New Member 5 Member For: 3y 8m 29d Posted 12/03/21 03:38 AM Author Share Posted 12/03/21 03:38 AM I have had the car for 4 years now. This is the first time it has done this. Been running great until the other day. Driving along at 100km/h on the highway and it just lost power, coasted to the side of the road, engine was still running but wouldn't rev pushing down the pedal. Had to get it towed home. It will move off on idle, but nothing there to pick up speed. Just wants to stall out, when pushing the pedal down. Will hit boost and high revs stilling still, but after it splutters and nearly stalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be taking it back to the tuner for diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
