Hi guys my name is brenton I'm new to the forum but already

It's help me out a lot.

About a month ago I bought a 04 ba xr6 turbo and was pretty happy

With it. It had a problem with revving out wich let to be a dirty boost

Controller solenoid . I don't no to much about turbos so bear with me please.

A few days ago I took it to the mechanic because when I drive the car and say

Sit on 80 drives perfect but if I back of and let the revs drop down the gears

Once I'm at a dead stop the car wants to stall. Also about 2/3 times a day the check

Engine light will come on and the car goes into (limp mode) I think. But if I turn the

Car off and straight back on I'm good to go. So I gave it to the mechanic he done

A diagnostic on it and I have attached the result he had no idea so I'm no better of

After giving it to him! Although he did notice no bov apparently the previous owner

Removed it and now it's "dosing" so I'm not sure if that could be the problem.

Any input would be awesome I really want to get it sorted! Also if you could recommend

A bov that still has a nice flutter that would be great. Cheers

Removing the bov has almost certainly harmed several puppies and and spread Ebola all around the universe.....

How old is your battery it may be farked. What are your long term and short fuel trims sitting at?(you should be able to check on your scanner) Your o2 sensor may be on its way out. Coils and plugs are worth checking also. Could be fuel reg or something weird as well I spose although I haven't personally heard of them failing much.

Tps, battery or bcm.

Battery is probably the cheapest one to try first, then tps, bcm last.

Engine light would most likely be a stuffed TPS. BA series turbo and V8 always had a low idle and would often stall when pulling up to traffic lights etc and manual gearbox more so than automatic.

If you plan on keeping the car and modifying then a tune will fix the low idle/stall by idling the engine at 850rpm

Hey mate check your tps, if it has a indent in it the size of a 10c peice then It is the old faulty model and would be very wise to replace it with a upgraded one with the indent. Good place to start anyway

Thanks heaps guys this week I'm going to try the battery I know it has a old battery in it probably not the correct cca so I'll do that.

I'll also look into the tps and see if it's the old one.

I'll keeps you's posted again thanks for your help!
