LUMO Donating Members 476 Member For: 17y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: SYDNEY Posted 29/01/10 01:24 PM Share Posted 29/01/10 01:24 PM Hey guys, as the title says.I went to get my car tuned in December and wen they ran it up on the dyno it was shutting down at 3000rpm and wouldnt rev more..Then another 5 tunes then I went to 5000 RPM and wont go any more.. I can figure out what the problem could be..I have change 3 sets of coil packs 3 sets of spark plugs, changed the fuel reg and..Has this happened to anyone before???CheersPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My T was originally a 5 speed but I have converted it to a 6 speed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did data log it but the gearbox died 2 days after I data logged it...so we havent bothered having a look at it...I have tried almost everything, swapping throttle bodies, cam position sensors, coil packs etc....so when I get the gearbox sorted out we will try and see what the issue is..
