Title: stuttering
Post by: Russ_leeds on August 09, 2011, 08:01:47 pm

took the car out last night had 3 mates in the car. i noticed when at wot in 3rd and above the car was stuttering almost i could feel the power drop out then come back then drop out then come back.

Any one got any ideas? coilpacks? sparkplugs?
cheers

Could be soft limp mode!

Suggest you do some logging with vcds  especially of fuel rail pressure requested vs actual and misfire count.

Mine did this in all gears and turned out to be a duff plug.  Id get the car scanned and see what fault code appears.

Using standard plugs at this stage is recommended.

I have had the recommendation to chnage my plugs every 10,000miles running at S2+ using OEM plugs.

log blocks:

020  correctional factor on cylinders 1-4

115  to monitor boost

230  Fuel Rail Pressure

015 and 016 Misfire counter

Get him to do a fault scan before any logging.
