Title: She\'s driving me nuts! Hesitation problems
Post by: ianelvar on September 07, 2007, 07:27:36 PM
Hello again!

After my saga with the CAS, and eventually getting her to run properly I\'ve now got boost problems.

She started to get a little shaky on the second turbo. Kinda jerky and hesitant.

All my rats nest pipes have been done, and cable tied very very tight..

I searches around, found the grounding problem, so I cleaned all my ground points, and added some more. This didn\'t help at all.

I found the thread about the fuel pump rewiring, and had a look at it. I took it for a drive to see what it was running at, and the car started to act like a bucking bronko! At the first sign of boost it behaves like the ignition has been turned off. Backing off again brings it back to normal. I can get it up to 5K as long as I keep it off boost, and very gentle on the throttle.

I did the pump mod, but it\'s not helped at all.

help :(

I\'ve looked at loads of posts on hesitation, but can\'t find anything that really matches my problem

Cheers guys :)

Check your plugs aren\'t knackered. Are you running stock boost levels ?

try resetting the ecu, by removing the negative terminal of the battery and pressing the brake pedal down for 30 seconds,  had a similar problem when my car was a twin and it solved the problem.

Cheers for the suggestions. I haven\'t looked at the plugs yet - should have thought of it really, but have done the ECU reset. Car is totally stock.

I suppose the problems with the CAS being faulty could have made a real mess of the plugs. At least it\'s something to go on!

Thanks again, I\'ll let you know how it goes

No joy with the ECU reset or plug change.

I pulled the ECU codes, no problems there.

I have a sneaking suspicion it\'s electrical gremlins. Any ideas?
I know the pump is getting a good supply now.

Quick update:

Won\'t go above 0.2 bar on the primary. It spools fine, then I\'d say it fuel cuts when it gets to 0.2 bar.
