Help - engine problem after overtaking!
Hi,
Just managed to limp my car home after an eventful drive. I accelerated hard in 3rd to 80 to overtake and as I let off the throttle to change up it felt like the car hit a brick wall.
Although it drove home ok off boost, I can't get it to rev over 3-3.5k as it hesitates badly and shakes the car violently. It also hunts more than normal at tick over, sounding like it's going to die at any second.
I revv'd it on the drive when I got home and there didn't seem to be the same problem off-load.
Can't see any pipes missing after a quick check and the ECL isn't on.
The car is a MY00, PPP, with 116k on the clock. Had new plugs, leads, lambda, and MAF in the last year.
Any ideas?
TIA
Ian
