bobbymkII 0 Posted May 24, 2011 my corrado has been off road for months now have all new brakes ,,,fuel pump etc etc....so took it out tonight to give it a proper run in..once got temp up...gave it some full on ...and as you try and accelerate hard as it hits 5k revs it kinda goes flat for a split second almost like hitting rev limiter...apart from that it drives and stops like it should...and ticks over perfect...if anybody can point me in right direction as to what this may be ...as need gone asap as just want my rado running perfect again...

pumbaa 0 Posted May 25, 2011 I have the same problem at the moment, I discovered that it's under fuelling, I'm in the process of sourcing a new fuel pump but you say you had changed yours. Have you checked the WOT switch is working? It's possibly still running closed loop at full throttle and so not getting enough fuel. I thought this was my problem but it turns out the switch is fine. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pumbaa 0 Posted May 27, 2011 Ahh, a misunderstanding of the problem. Mine does rev to the red line. Its just lacking oomph up there as its underfuelling. I might start a thread about my problems separately. (Vehicular and not psychological ones!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
