Hi all
I have recently changed my turbo inlet pipe,MAF sensors,knock sensor,coil pack, ht leads and my spark plugs all because my car was spluttering and running rich and smelling of fule when under boost. I have no check engine light anymore but the car is still not running right.
Anyone got any ideas
Many thanks

That's what the bloke that sold it to me said. But there is no receipts or nothing saying that it has.

sounds to me like you dont know exactly what you have been sold.take it to a specialist and let them have a dig around and get it on the rolling road to see whats going on

It's really lacking power and missing/spluttering at hight revs and it smells of petrol, not shore whether to change the idle control valve because sometimes when you stop it will idle at a 1000rpm and slightly go up and down for a few minutes.

i would suggest your problems are a little more than the icv.

the fact the previous owner has told you "its been bored out" points to a clueless fcukwit.

im betting he has changed various parts and not bothered with a remap or worse still caused permanent damage to the engine.


boring out the cylinders to a bigger size would require new oversize pistons and if this has been done which i seriously doubt would require a custom remap to run correctly.

Does anyone have an idea of what could e wrong.

Seriously mate, take it to a proper garage for them to check it over.

Best thing to do as it could be anything if you don't even know what engine is in it anymore.

This has to be a wind up !

LuckyWelshchap

Yep.

Think I'll get the missus to join later, posting as 'IllfatedEnglishfellow'.
