oxbig1 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 well i went out to Aberdeen the day for my MIR scan on the way there the car was running fine till I got to a set of lights. the car felt very shuddery when on idle. I knew it did not feel right an when taken off it was like no power. it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders and the ECU lights flashing like mad. worst thing it I just got it serviced on Tuesday. what should I do ????

craig_harey Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 time to visit mr forrest with all you are running time to get it mapped buddy .
cullenmin Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I'm sure Al (ScoUk) will be along soon to offer his laptop diagnostic services. Then go see Mr Forrest
oxbig1 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 booked in we mr forrest in may, he's a bussy man by the sound of it. the car was fine b4 service ( apart from over boost) i think it could b crap plugs bn put in. feels n sounds like its runnin on3
scouk Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I'm sure Al (ScoUk) will be along soon to offer his laptop diagnostic services. D'oh! Was though Dufftown a couple of times today as well... Oh well... Does sound like somethign nasty is goign on... No boost and flashing CEL's means Safe mode.... I.e. get you home and get it serviced sort of thing...
oxbig1 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 theres boost but just no spark lol. guess ill just have 2 phone the garage first thing. think it might b the last time i put it there
scouk Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) theres boost but just no spark lol. guess ill just have 2 phone the garage first thing. think it might b the last time i put it there Yeah.. naturally you'll get about 0.6bar of boost due to natural back pressure without the assitance of the wastegate, which is about 1/2 the boost that the STi delivers IIRC... The ECU will basically leave the wastegate wide open to keep boost pressure as low as physically possible incase of problems... Edited April 27, 2008 by ScoUK

thewelsho Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 i can still get 1.2 bar boost Take it back mate, it might have been something the service centre did, like bugger up a coil pack or something. No need to run off to AF just yet. Get the prob sorted first.

oxbig1 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 hey every 1 thanks for the suport, took the car back to the garage all it that was wrong was a loose wire on one of the coils.
