Whats wrong with my car?

JayTdotP · 01-20-2012, 04:52 PM

Outve no where today my car isnt working properly

When I try to floor it + click on the gas pedal, the car jerks a bit and the Rpms go high, but the car doesnt really pull.. it doesnt do anything.

or on the highway, when im going 120km, and i try to floor it + click the pedal. it gets to about 140km,, and it doesnt go anymore.. it just remains the same speed and the car doesnt do shit...

is my turbo broken, or spark plugs?.. what do you guys think, never had this happen to me before, just bought the car at like 120,000km, and i only ran like 3000km so far.. the car never had this problem till today..

tried letting it rest for a bit, and going for a run again, still same problem.

Mods: chip + intake.

Do you have a manual? Bad clutch?

I guess he has an AT since he mentioned full throttle + CLICK

Any chance you can read codes? No half engine light in the center of the instrument cluster? Service Engine Soon light on?

Sounds like a boost leak or some other problem that can't be diagnosed by your description - will need time in a shop or at least check for codes.

The first thing I would do is try to figure out which tune I had...

JayTdotP · 01-20-2012, 06:38 PM

No lights on, no service lights... I have the cord, which program would i use?

Try taking out the chip?

JayTdotP · 01-20-2012, 06:47 PM

also, i cant hear my turbos anymore... ?

I know it's a long long fetch, but doesn't JB4 have a Valet mode? May be you set you car to it. In that case, the car would be dog slow and yeah you won't hear your turbos since they're bypassed...
