really not having much look with the car this week..... but yesterday it developed a new problem, it started off with the car basically revving itself if that makes sense??? if i took my foot of the accelerator it would rise slightly then drop down, and on pulling into a carpark it would rev itself to around 3-3500rpm.... this all happened with the CEL light flashing on and off.

This morning the CEL was on, and i had to put my foot on the accelerator to start it as it would cut out, and approaching junctions, stopping for traffic meant i had to keep the revs up, else it would again cut out...

On idle its is ldling at aroud 460, when usually it sits around the 800+ mark so theres something wrong there.... ICV maybe?

mod wise, 225 walbro, decat,headers,remap, unsure if anything is linked to the problems tho....

any help as usual guys would be massively appreciated

 

Sounds like a maf, but could be a number of things.

Ideally you want to take it to a good rep scooby specialist (or your mapper) and get them to diagnose the problem. Its cheaper than buying bits and fitting them to illiminate the problem. Its not really advisable to buy secondhand mafs anyway..

 

yes sounds like the MAF mine had the same issue

i payed 90 for a buggerd 2nd one not happy as there 400-500ish from subary

ended up putting on a simtek as they dont usr the MAF and not looked back

 

Owned the scoob for 2 year, its a 98sti and ive never had a cell light on. Im the first owner in this country, and as soon as i got it home it was booked in at Andy f and had the simtek fitted.

 

I think you need to find someone that knows what they are doing and you can trust and ask them to sort the car out for you. It seems unlikely you will bottom out all the issues on your own regardless of how much help you get on here.

 

Air leak by the intercooler. Maybe?

Check for splits etc in pipe work. Maybe the clips going to turbo housing has worked loose?
