importwarrior Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 start easy, verify and or reset the TPS and ISC MPS sensors.if all is good then check timing. make sure it is set properly. if still not fixed. i would swap the MAF sensor. that was my problem.i had not power. cleaned all the contacts on the maf. then cleaned the harness end of the maf sensor connector. i actually got weldertip cleaner from harbor freight for like 6 dollars. they were small enough to get in to the harness maf sensor connector contacts andnot stretch the contacts. next check the injector contacts. clean them with a nail file emery board.i used my girlfriends. check the wastegate actuator arm. where it connects to the flapper on the turbine side of the turbo. once the cotter pin fell or rusted off. i used a paper clip to replace it. well hope that helps a little. or at least it is a starting point.

Shelby Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 i bet theres at least 400 threads on this very thing,,what makes you think nothing in any of them applys to your car,,,they are all the same car not trying to be smart tail, but a little reading of back pages in the Vmech and adv mech forums can give you insight into every thing you may need to test or check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
