hi guys .

sometimes my car seems to shut off by itself. if im booting it, it just seems to stop it self boosting and kinda takes away the power for a few seconds.. (this doesnt happen all the time)

any ideas

fuel cut due to high boost level, or boost solenoid needs cleaning.. possible reasons.

mine also did this the other week twice in one night, i was giving it some and it was pretty cold so i thought it may be overboosting and then fuel cut,only happened since i fitted a decat downpipe and a greddy boost controller which is limited to 1.1 bar on high setting, i think boost cut is 1.2bar on MY99 uk cars, not 100% sure though. ps hasnt done it since

speciallist should be able to sort it with a manual boost controller very cheaply.. the time it usually happens is as you are overtaking and all power cuts

where are you in the country?

Could it also be Maf issues....

Mine was doing it and was advised to change maf and did ,and all is well...

Contact Banny Sti he had a similar issue and solved it. He changed various bits on his car and it turned out to be something else
