Car gone into limp mode, no warning light!

Post by RandyAndy »

Hey guys I posted a topic about my car not revving past 4000, since that they put new HT leads on, it was running perfect for about 20mins, parked up for a couple hours then got back in it, running fine until it comes to the straight, second gear boosts nicely then suddenly 3rd comes and it just goes limp, turbo spooling up but no power past 2500 rpm, the more I press the accelerator the slower it goes, this happens in all gears now, also wants to stall at idle, Help!!

take a look at the coil pack, mine would miss fire under boost in the wet then it got so bad it wanted to cut out and then would slow under acceleration.

been a complete bonehead, the induction pipe wasn't attached to the turbo properly! the clip that was holding it on was blowing off cause i'm running so much boost through it, bought a new jubilee clip for it and it's running sweet now! Still learning here \:D/
