Hi guys

I recently took off the snorkel on my 1999 turbo 2000 and everything was fine went for a short spin to check my tyre pressures at the nearest garage about a mile away no problems on way back showed the car a lil bit of boost then started my problem!

The problem is just after she came on boost the car started spluttering like mad and cut out everytime the revs dropped around ideling speed any thoughts on why this has happened?

My thoughts are either I need to reset my ecu to make the car re learn settings and values or i could possibly have a nakered maf sensor.

oppinions and help would be welcome

Thanks in advance mark

 

sounds like may be the maf

quick test start her up and pull the plug on the sensor if it dies, the sensor is alrite. ( so ive been told)

your later car have fragile maf's.

 

Yea thought that might be the case tbh

 

try it let me know

 

Hey buddy turns out it wasnt the maf!
disconected the maf car cut out!

The bottom hose decided to come off the intercooler!

Thats the hose that goes from the bottom of the intercooler to the top of the intercooler its like a c shape
works like she should now thank god!


does anyone know of a cold air feed for the snorkel delete resonator mod?

 

cool at least shes there now

 

Got a decent pdf guide, but cant find it at the moment mate

Take a look here http://www.scoobymods.com/intake_sil...113.html?t=113

 

Surely this one has already been put to bed? Just FYI (and that of anyone else reading), this "test" is a load of bollocks. Proves nothing and has the potential to damage a good sensor.

In fact the only thing it proves is that people will believe (and repeat) any old rubbish.

 

i sharein info i got from this very site, sorry im not an encyclopedia like yourself.

 

I know you're sharing something you read here. Trouble is that the info you're sharing is incorrect, and does more harm than good. There aren't too many ways to say that other than just saying it.

 

true enuf thing is how do i know you are corect know what i mean. well hes got his problem sorted. good result and i know im not a subaru mechanic lol

 

Well you could start by reading post #13 here, and then ask yourself whether I sound like I know what I'm talking about.

And yes, the OP got his problem sorted, but as the problem wasn't the airflow sensor in the first place it's not like your "test" helped him in any way, is it?

 

na it wasent the maff i stand corrected lol

 

Thanks guys for all your help anyway!
