Complete loss of power

[IanFiTheDwarf]

can anyone help!

I\'ve only had my FC a few weeks and it\'s developed a problem after about three or four min\'s of perfect driving hot or cold it looses all power anything mors than slight throtle and no power at all, switching off and re\'starting cures the problem for about three or four min\'s again and then no power again.

has anyone had this problem or have any idea whare i should be looling?

any help much apreciated.

Ian.

when you lose power, does the car limit your revs to 3000rpm?

[IanFiTheDwarf]

dont think so I\'ll double check tomorrow, it remindes me of a problem a mate had on a cossy, the wastegate was stuck fully open but the fact that it resets maker it unlikly to be a mechanical problem.

Yeah, since you describe the ignition curing it, i would say it\'s electrical. But merely a guestimate.

Is it a Turbo FC, or NA?

[IanFiTheDwarf]

its a 93 Jap FC, I\'m thinking a sensor that isn\'t read untill a preset time after start or a solinoid valve that isnt turned on untill a preset time after start.

93 FC? I thought they stopped those either 91 or 92?

sorry FD, only had it three weeks.

It will rev beyond 3000 but only if you feather the throtle the slightest bit of boost and it dies, seems to hapen only once warmed up if you swith of and restart it only runs ok for about a minute
