more problems

[frankyboy]

my car has started stuttering so i cahnged the leads and plugs yesterday took it out this morning everything fine.

coming home this evening car not boosting past 0.2bar and really lagging does it in all gears. when i put the foot down fast it doesn't want to move at all any ideas people

p.s no smoke or noises coming from the turbo either

maybe a long shot bud, but when i was having similiar problems like hesitation ect what got suggested on these forums to me was clean out the boost control solenoid using electrical cleaner, connect the green plugs under dash so the solenoid is operating and spray it clear, u will get the spray out the other port as it operates and let it all dry out before puting it back together, check tubing as well for oil particles, there is good write ups on this on the net, might not be your problem but worth a shot, hope you get it sorted.

It is next to the suspension turret drivers side has 2 pipes (possibly 3 depending on what car you have and what spec) and a plug connected to it one of the pipes goes to the actuator on the turbo and the other one to the inlet manifold

doh too slow.

Try dissconnecting battery for 10 mins car sounds like it's in limp mode

[frankyboy]

I'll try that just now then see if that make a difference

mine is a 97 face lift would it have limp mode? Found the solinoide too
