GRrrr 2.2 playing up !!
« on: 07 July 2012, 09:17:29 »

Hi guys your experience and help is needed before my sanity goes out the window. Problem is this car is non responsive , if i drive her like Miss Daisy then she is OK however if i try to drive her like a normal dude then GRrr she aint playing ball. She feels sluggish through the gears when trying to push her, and now if i push her hard she will reach 60/65 and then pull up like hitting a brick wall she completely holds back.

All the usual suspects have been approached new cam gasket VX new plugs new fuel filter breathers cleaned no air leaks, all checked and doubled checked so what the heck is it??.

 Thanks in advance guys Steve  >:( >:( >:(  :y :y

MAF sensor and cam sensor next. Unplug the MAF and see how it runs then. It won't go into limp home mode. If that sees no improvement it may be the cam sensor or coilpack on the way out. Has the gearbox gone into limp home mode recently?

Yes should have also mentioned coilpack was replaced, gearbox manual not auto.  :y :y

Does it take a bit of starting, either hot or cold, as this could be the egr valve sticking in the open position. Whats it like whilst idling in neutral.

Regards.

Maxing out around that level points to cam sensor
