drop in power until 3000rpm, FINALLY FIXED BY STATLLERS!!!!
« on: June 30, 2012, 04:45:05 pm »
Hello folks, I noticed ,y car felt a bit sluggish this week, so popped into PDtuning for some advice :wink:He advised some datalogging, which I did, and found that for some reason, it isnt getting near peak boost until another 700rpm in the rev range, which explains why it feels sluggish at lower rpm.
Has anyone any ideas as to what could be causing this? Surely cant just be the heat? I've swapped the DV over to a one I had in the shed, which gave the same results. also MAF values look a lot different also
Heres 2 logs, first one is from the other month, last one is from today, both running same revo settings

MAF might be the cause I reckon ......it's not reading as high as last month at same rev points - hence engine loading gets affected and you're not getting full boost

its the boost before 3000rpm I was on about.
car is sluggish as hell until 3k rpm. backfires when revved when sitting at idle. couldnt catch a 1.5dci qashqai today from a standing start :scared:
Looks like I'm back to square one again, no fault codes showing at all either

How come the requested boost levels are loads different between the two logs?  It's also cutting throttle back.

What's the timing pull like?

A quick update just incase anyone else has a similar issue in future. The car was in with us today and we physically and visually checked:

Front PCV
Rear PCV
Intake manifold flaps (including adaption restet)
In tank fuel pump (including adaption restet)
Throttle valve (including adaption restet)
AFM
Throttle pedal
Load values
Lambda adations
Boost pipes
Lambda sensors

Then we stripped the cam cover and timing belt cover off, checked that the belt and chain were all timed correctly and that the cams were correctly aligned.

None of which helped, all was ok. Noticed that the ignition advance at idle would occasionally jump by 10/15 degrees followed by a hesitation in idle speed and a rich idle mixture, this would open the throttle drive plate slightly to correct the values.

Next step is to change the crank and cam sensors, see if the helps. It all points to a badly fitted timing belt, same symptoms as we have seen many times before, so unless the bottom crank pulley has slipped my hope is its the crank sensor.
