Hi all, my 94 classic wagon has just developed a problem (today) when i put my foot down it comes on boost ok but it gets to around 0.8 bar (on the boost guage) and then it feels like it hits the rev limiter all of a sudden and drops power? The car will normally boost to 1.5 bar no problem. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I'm thinking along the lines of a split hose or lose hose/pipe but i'm not sure where to start looking tbh. The car is quite low on fuel (just under a 1/4 of a tank) but i personally dont think this will be anything to do with my problem.

All advice and suggestions will be more than welcome, cheers Rich

 

ahh atlast im having the same problem with mine thought i was the only one geting it with my boost

 

ohhh and your local i was going to get a green scooby classic from over your way bout a month ago

 

im going to the cruise to southend tonight if you wana meet try and get someone to look at it

 

my dad had this with his car we spent a whole day finding the fault,

Try your Nutrul positioning sensor on passenger side of Gbox

 

Hi daz has yours allways had the problem or has it just started doing it? What model is yours mate?

 

Cheers trell for the reply, did this fix your dads problem then mate??

 

Cheers for the offer daz, maybe another time as i'm just staying in and having a few beers as i've had a right ****te week at work and just fancy chilling tbh mate

 

its a 1993 classic wrx turbo ive had it a month and stared a few days after i got it was told to turn boost down still same took it off no pwer like the turbo wasnt working so put it back on today ok at mo see later when go to southend

 

thats ok m8 i would have poped over if had more time

 

No worries daz have a good night at southend mate

 

Yea after hours of going over boost pipes splitpin ( TOP BLOKE On SN) on here help diagnosis to the NPS car was right as rain

its a momentry switch so if you have a multi meter set it to continuity ( the beepy one lol ) not sure wich way round but in gear will either beep or wont or visa versa

 

Is it a case of removing and replacing the sensor or just taking it out and cleaning it up with some electrical contact cleaner??

 

replacing matey, Its a sealed switch.

Regards

 

Ok cheers guys i will be taking it all apart this afternoon and see what i can find what the problem is i will post my finding later, cheers Rich

 

Well i had the old girl apart yesterday and couldnt find any split hoses, i changed the plugs for ngk-r's platinum and it does feel alot better but still not as good as it was, the intercooler looks proper minced so i'm woundering if this could be adding to my problems too, i've still to try the sensor that trell suggested but i never got time to have a look yesreday as while i was looking for split hoses i noticed the steering rack gaitor had split so i changed that aswell, lol.
