power drops at low revs

Recommended Posts

got my corrado going finally - after a hefty bill!

 

one thing ive noticed is that sometimes, particularly in 2nd, if you hammer the throttle at low revs youll get an immediate 'kick' then the power will violently drop for about half a second, almost as if it was just about to run out of fuel, then the power kicks back in again.

 

any ideas?

If its a VR, you need to first do a complete ECU reset. Then reprogramme it when hot. The check the following, in this order:

- All spark plugs and leads (these going off can mess up the lambda probe readings, and force excessive retard or late injection timing)

- MAF (make sure it is intact and clean)

- Cam position sensor (tends to go more often than people think, also delivers your symptoms, particularly with a full kick-down throttle position)

- ECU relay (particularly if you have the original relay, they were rubbish)

- Fuel pump relay (unlikely, unless you have starting problems as well)

- Lamba probe (could be responsible for the catasrophic drop in revs, and the ECU just recovers it in time
