Title: AGU stuttering under boost
Post by: ReadieeVTS on 31 May 2013, 22:08

Hi guys, so I've got a slight problem with the new car...as soon as I hit 0.5 bar of boost it will stutter/misfire like a muthaf**ker, I've changed the plugs and it's still the same, it's had 2 new coil packs on but I think there cheapies as they aren't branded etc. it will stutter a bit when in 2nd-5th gear at low revs when driven normally, I can't connect it up to a obd scanner as my one says that there "no communication found" help me guys lol

ignition amp i would be looking at as coil-packs on the agu very rarely fail  :smiley:

could be a weak fuel pump not flowing enough to make a nice rich mixture under load, need to get your fuelling checked
