Question Pulsing / holding back while driving

MY00 Turbo 2000 (Full decat exhaust)
Any ideas on what could be causing the car to be pulsing/holding back when driving? MAF was changed in Jan so wouldn't have thought it was that and Revs are stable while idling.

No CEL codes either on my SEC monitor

Could it be dirty boost solenoid or possibly the Lambda?

Cheers

Si

Only seems to pulse when cold first thing, and when crusing on the motorway at 70 you can feel it sort of pulsing?? No problems while on WOT

try swapping the lambda sensor with sumbody`s whos is fine

cold in the morning used to do that in mine, put a new lambda in and it was fine
WOT doesnt really use the lambda sensor, its the pottling about the doors that genrally does

high suspect IMO

Scoobsterboy,

My my00 did this for a while as well. When I checked out the lambda it was in a poor state, looked like the plastic ribbed housing had cracked and let water, oil etc in. I stripped off the cover, cleaned it up (being careful of the wires) and resealed it with leccy tape and it's been perfect ever since. Might work, you never know

It won't be your wastegate solenoid if WOT is OK. I'd be thinking lambda as well. Don't mess about cleaning it though, go to your local motor factor and get a new one for about £25...
