hey all im a female scooby owner umm hubs is gona kill me for coming on hear as he normally does all the works on my beloved scoob except this time shes got him well an trully stumped! ok so hear goes i will try an explain as best as i can whats bin happeneing with her all advice very grateful!
ok so basc shes started dying on me starts off the button no prob have noticed slight idle difference tho nothing major umm anyways will get about 10 mins down the rd dump valve will start to sound a lil funny so when that happens i know its gona play up then car starts dipping as soon as i pull over it dies an reeks of fuel altho this seems to be intermitent so some days it does it once somedays upto 5 times , ok so hubs has changed the maf sensor also changed the air intake pipe to a silicone one as it was cracked he checked an changed various pipes that had splits ect umm plugs are fine we thought we had cracked the problem by fitting the new intake pipe but it died on me during the skool run this morn just what ya need eh? so is anything else we shud try ? thanx shell

maybe the dump valve on its way out? try put a recirc dumpvalve on and see if it makes a difference?

sure you double checked all your boost pipes?

reeks of fuel? when was the fuel pump last checked?

Perhaps the fuel pump is on the blip and is slowly getting weaker making it cut? could be the ecu sensing something isnt right trying to stop it stalling so putting in extra fuel, fuel pump going wft! and cutting out making you stal.

... but could be well off haha.

hey he has changed the fuel pump also i forgot to mention hes changed so much i cant keep up someone also mentioned the trottle body??

Yikes... is the button with the comma symbol on your keyboard broken? Your post was nearly unreadable! I suggest you first learn to type in English, before asking a bunch of internet mechanics to diagnose your car woes. :thumb:

As for the problems you are having, I would suggest you take it to a specialist to diagnose the issue, has the car been seviced recently, when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

umm its a chatter box dv thats all i know its a 97 impreza turbo 2000

ummm its a chatterbox dv thats all i know its a 97 impreza turbo 2000

Bad day DJ? :lol:

A chatterbox dumpvalve?? :lol1: is it female? ;)

Smokingkills - it's a good day mate, this thread is cheering me up :D

loose the dump valve for a start and refit a standard one, aftermarket dv's (vta ones) can cause problems such as irratic idle, over boosting, poor fuel consumption, flat spots.. so refit a standard one and see how that goes..

if that doesnt cure it then check the coil packs, they maybe cracked and on there way out. i had some problems with juddering and dipping revs on my old classic which turned out to be a cracked coil pack.

:lol1: It does read that way :lol1:

What powerwrx said :thumb:

Can you not type properly and stop this text language? It is a pain to read so don't expect many responses.
If you can't be bothered to type, people will not be bothered to read hence reply.

I wuz just playing wiv DJ cuz es me m8 howzat

^^ Says the king of grammar and punctuation!

^^What do you make of that then^^:lol1:

i would do as others have said and put the standard re-circ back on, but i think it still sounds like a dodgy maf. the one your husband fitted, was it new or a second hand one?

Why did it have a new fuel pump? And was the map checked afterwards?

Tsk - You obviously haven't read the terms and conditions of this website. If you are female then it mandatory to post pics of yourself (unless you are a minger ;)) before we can help you with your car. What's your age, vital stats, etc. :D

Too much fuel, equals air leak.
