just the last couple of days I have had a problem under heavy power foot to the floor the car feels like it isnt getting enough fuel, it feels like when traction control kicks in.

Only under heavy power does it do it not when say half way to the floor that's ok and also if I slowly build the revs up to around 4000rpm then hit the accelerator its fine.

I thought it might be either fuel pump or maybe fuel filter, cause today I hit and it cut in and out then all of a sudden I had full power again like something was blocking the fuel line then all of a sudden it was gone.

any ideas would be great

thanks

Seems like you are on the right track, I have had the same issue in the past few weeks .Turns out the fuel pump has sh*t itself. Best get it on a Dyno to make sure it's not leaning out . Anyway Process West surge tank and pump going in tommorrow

yeah I thought it was the fuel pump but have read else where it might be the filter aswell so going to change the filter tonight/tomorrow and see if that changes anything if not then a new pump will be next

Mines starting doing this to in the last week, had the car 3 years now with 30 000Kms on it. Do you guys think it is the fuel pump?

Same thing happend to me today.. Was driving home exited outta the roundabout and gunned it. Had it in manual mode, 1st gear was good, hit second and it felt like it didnt have any balls, changed to third and I was like WTF was that, changed to 4th and gave it a bit more and it felt normal again.....

I have a walbro 341 which is only a few months old, so I dunno about a pump failure... Maybe I got a doggy one??

BTW my tank is nearly full so it wasnt surging...

Sounds like T/C to me. Mine does the same thing and I'm sure its t/c just quick enough so light don't come on.

driving with tc on in the dry and driving hard is the best way to brake sh*t , only use tc when it's wet or real light cruisin

  • Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer
