Dave-350 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi guys, I noticed yesterday while putting my foot down that the car seemed to loose all power. At first I though it was traction control being funny with me, but as I drove on, whwnever I hit the gas the whole car just gives up and I have no power. (My foot could be stuck to the floor with nothing happening) Any ideas if this is a common fault? Maybe the MAF is on its way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Fault codes? If you disconnect the maf and it makes no difference to running its the maf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 More info required - will it rev or does it reach a ceiling, when you say no power does the car start slowing down, is it only on full throttle or part throttle too, is it all the time or just sometimes, does turning car off and starting it again make any difference? My immediate thought it that the throttle position sensor is out of calibration, as Dblock says its worth doing the pedal dance and finding out if its throwing up any codes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 MAF senor, Cam senor or sticky throttle body. Need more info really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My immediate thought it that the throttle position sensor is out of calibration, as Dblock says its worth doing the pedal dance and finding out if its throwing up any codes though Originally it was just at High Revs, then it would do it every time I put my foot on the gas. At full throttle. Yes the car slows down when it cuts out. today it has not done it, but yesterday it was undriveable. I will try the pedal dance, never done it before!

docwra Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Theres a known issue with issues between the throttle pedal position sensor and the throttle sensor in the engine bay, Ive had it a few times where you immediately lose all control of the throttle and it slowly winds back down to about 2K rpm - turning the car on and off fixes it though (Ive actually done this at over 90mph on a racetrack before) See what the diagnostic turns up but it sounds like you might have the same problem but worse, shouldnt be too expensive to fix though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
