Hesertating and loosing power

[karl1989]

Hi guys recently got a 2.0 cabby and when I got it there was a few problems. Mainly when driving it hesertates and when I accelerate the revs drop. On tick over I tried to rev the car and it tried to die, popping, sounded as if it was struggling abit. Sorry about crap info. Anybody else had similar problems

Really? I mean you didn't think you'd chuck that though Google and see how you spell hesitate?!


Sounds like your tps or your map sensor are dicky. Try unplugging one at a time and going for a drive. If no difference it's unlikely to be that as it'll default to a preset map if the sensor isn't completely f*cked, so try the other...

Have you got access to a pug planet or know someone local who can read the ecu faults?

Sorry I'm a grammar nazi. And had a shit day at work, so am a cranky grammar nazi on this occasion. Apologies!

I'm not familiar with the xsi engine nut pretty sure the map ison top of the tthrottle body and th tps is under the bottom of the throttle body...

It was fine a while ago now it seems to be getting worse. When I got it it would hesitate then be ok but now it just isn't ideal to be driven

Just unplugged the sensor under the manifold it struggled to start but when it did I have to keep the revs on so it wouldn't cut out
