Broken down! Any ideas what's wrong?

[GunnerCP]

not one i can swap parts with!

I dont think its the ignition amp though, I think maf and/or boost pipe has slipped off.....

when i was doing my fmic on my old car! i was 1 jubaliie clip short! had no other way but to drive the car!

it sounded like a bag of sh!te! and one pipe popped off! but it still ran :\

[GunnerCP]

we'll see.... I'll get the tools out before I get the wallet out anyway! 

I'll update with the outcome.

yea, ill borrow my bros car when he gets back then go pick up a jack and some tools and get underneath it and have a look.....

whats the connection then with a boost leak, maf plugged in = car dies as opposed to boost leak, maf unplugged = car runs?

it's too cold outside 

MAF = Mass Air flow sensor, Boost leak - air flow low or non existent = Overfuel and poor running.

When disconnected it will run limp settings

ah spot on mate, had forgotten all about that!

Yeah I'd seen that website ages ago but couldn't ever find it again, now bookmarked cheers

Check the TIP on the turbo itself too

Found it... It was the 90degree boost pipe under the fibreglass blanket, one side of it was no longer connected! On my way to get my gloves (hands are already scrathed up!) and socket set now....

Quite random but of all the boost pipes the easiest one to reconnect I suppose!

Hopefully the maf is fine then!

MAF will be fine

All fixed and back to normal now.... I'll give it a chek over again in better light tomorrow though....
