power loss

[johnxl1s 0]

after sitting in morning city centre traffic for roughly 20mins and go to pull off at lights etc the c only pulls on what it seems like half a cylinder then onto to say two or three cylinders then onto full power but is hestatant(spelt wrong),this happens when sitting in city centre traffic for more than or thereabouts 10/15/20mins, when the engine is heated up ..2L 16V, it freqently does not kick into full power until 4000revs anyone any ideas.

might be the engine drawing in warm/hot air from the engine bay, instead of through the grill, thats why it clears up when you start moving.

 

do you have an induction kit?

yup i had tis problem when i was waiting in a multistory carpark ... it feels drounded and does not REV freely well my soloution was to reboot the car LOL switch it off them fired it back on again then t was back to normal...... i think it was something to do with a sencor.... maybe

 

well next time it happends give it a go it worked for me...

thanks for the reply, yes it is when the engine heats up, the heat shield is removed(the alumminum cover thingy) could it be that, where is the sensor.

wht is an induction kit do

i duno where the sencor is if it tis that i thourght it might be the sencor what tells the fueling system how much air/fuel ratio and a given timing to give to the engine.... b4 the ECU

hi chris, jus as a matter of interest, my car seems to be the same as yours (2L 16V with the 9A engine) does it go well or are you contantly having engine tuning, how well does it drive ..ie ..steering etc.

mines fine 2.0l 16v only like you said in this thread powerloss only happend one time ever in the poweing rain going up the slope of a multistory carpark the car did not like it ..... so i switched off the car and started it again and it was fine ( mind you i was very worryied about it coz it all of a sudden lost like 90% of power *pedal to teh floor and takes like 10secs to get to about 4,000 revs

 

now it's fine perfect stearing whines but work nicly ABS works (light its not working thou....getting fixed couple of days)

ummmz, induction kits replace your air filter, the problem is that the air filter takes a cold air feed from the front of the car, were as an induction kit has 360 degree intake, so takes it from the engine bay, you have to add a cold air tube to get cold air to the filter from the outside of the car, if you are stationary this doesn't work, as the air isn't pushed in/through the tube, and so the induction kit can only take hot air from the engine bay, this will drastically affect the power

got it fixed,air traffic problem

thankyou

[Guest]

how you fix it?

LOL LOL never mind just get rid of every car on the road apart from corrados LOL (empty raods) then we can move fast and freely and no more powerlosses...

 

yup i also have an induction kit this explains the heat problem..... cheers... mind you i'm not getting rid of it coz the noise that noise..... oh *drouls*
