Hooper Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi people, any help on this would be appreciated. Recently when I am full throttle down, at about 90mph upwards the car will splutter (doesnt make any weird noises or emit any smoke, just sort of feels like power halts for a split second) , goes faster, does it again, all the time until you ease of the throttle. Last night on the way back from Brighton it did it big time and the old warning light and engine management light came on for a second. Its just had a full service, I have changed the fuel filter, plugs etc. Where should I start looking (please dont say Autotrader!!) Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Sounds like Fuel Cut to me. How much boost you running & do you have a Fuel Cut Defender installed? (HKS, TRL, Greddy etc) Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 Will know boost levels when I install the boost gauge at the weekend, no fuel cut defenser (not that I know about anyway).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Have you got the cats in or out? Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 OK dokey. Could be the huge exhaust thats causing it to go over the fuel cut threshold (15psi/1bar ish) You should get an FCD and get those cats out Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 I have been toying with removing the cats for awhile anyway, this could be the excuse I need to go and do it! any recommendations on fuel cut defensers and where to get them/price? Cheers for your help Gaz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
