Periklis Member 67 Member For: 16y 1m 26d Posted 01/05/12 08:18 AM Posted 01/05/12 08:18 AM Hello all,Past month or so as soon as I wind up boost on the car, more frequently in first and second the car is backfiring loudly and multiple times looses power, then boosts up again... normally does this when its really cold winter air outside, happens about 60% of the time, and more often when the car is still cold..Any suggestions/ideas? It looses power backfires, then idles really sh*t afterwards, untill I give it a decent rev then goes back to normal...Ive replaced the spark plugs afew weeks ago, and the coils replaced about 6 months ago..Any help apreciated,Cheers 1

Periklis Member 67 Member For: 16y 1m 26d Posted 01/05/12 08:34 AM Author Posted 01/05/12 08:34 AM Should any of this come up on the diagnostics though? It went for a service about a month ago, and the diagnostics came up fine..

Periklis Member 67 Member For: 16y 1m 26d Posted 01/05/12 02:10 PM Author Posted 01/05/12 02:10 PM no same sort of power, doesnt happen all the time, but when it does it really struggles to wind boost without backfiring in 1st and 2nd.. 1
