hi have just joined scooby net to try and find some advice about problem with my scooby.
when my car is warm and if i pull out to overtake and give her some gas she dies at about 4000-4500 rpm as soon as i take my foot off throttle a bit she picks back up, some times she clears after this other times it last for a while.
If this happens and i put my foot down she hesitates and picks up then dies again then it wil be ok and she runs like a dream. the car has few extras like ecu upgrade full exhaust system inc headers front mount intercooler and oil cooler lightened fly wheel , upgraded dump valve smoothed and ported inlet manifold, induction kit . would be greatfull for some help !!

 

Id check your coilpacks they are known to crack underneath the rubber.
Hope that helps
James

 

Thanks for info wil check coils could it be down to type of fuel try to use shell all the time i know wrong fuel can cause plugs to burn up and brake down.

 

This sound the same as the problem i had last week!! i got it sorted was simple in the end check this link out

it sounds like you have a split in your turbo intake or induction kit or air filter!

i would suggest you take the turbo intake of and give it a real good look over!

will only take 10 mins work!

if it is the intake they are like rocking horse sh*t to find you will need to do the same as i did! the link provided explains all!

 

thanks for help its a realy annoying problem wil check all pipes tomorrow.
thanks
