Hi guys

[stants]

Timer ? As in trubo timer, if it's in auto mode then it will calculate how long the car needs to stay on for after being driven,

[9toejoe]

Aye turbo timer . But after long runs its never gone over a min could it be linked to maf ?

[stants]

Not sure mate as I've never used one, where is it located any chance you could have knocked it with your knee ?

[9toejoe]

It's in the centre console so no chance of knocking it lol

[stants]

Hmm no idea then mate sorry [emoji20]

[9toejoe]

No worries dude Im sure I will figure it out lol thanks anyway

[savage bulldogs]

I'd imagine that the turbo timer would be wired into something to let it know how hot the engine is in order for it to adjust the duration it over runs for .

If it's not running hot because its low on coolant , being driven hard ect ....

I'd mabey try to disconnect the turbo timer and let it idle for a bit before switching it off .just to take it out of the equation until your running issue is resolved.

What model is it joe ? uk , wrx ect

[9toejoe]

Well looked up the manual for timer on line and it is all worked out on rpm which kinda makes sense . Got genuine maf on order should be with me Thursday so fingers crossed .

My car is 97 uk spec turbo non wrx . It's had some mods done but I only paid 1500 quid so bound to be a few niggles . My first turbo car so I learning new things everyday . So any advice is gratefully received . Thanks guys

[9toejoe]

Bugger . Got maf but plugs are diff . Any ideas guys ? :(

[savage bulldogs]

My 97 uk turbo ran a purple label maff

I've got a spare where abouts are you cos you're welcome to try it if suffolk isn't to far away

[9toejoe]

Thanks dude . I'm Sussex where in Suffolk are you ?

[savage bulldogs]

Ipswich , so a fair way away

I would sell it to you as it worked fine when I disconnected it but it's been in a plastic bag in the shed for about a year .

[9toejoe]

Mmmm I gladly have it of it of you . Got a green one I'm sending back as son as I get the refund I gladly buy it off you .

[9toejoe]

Hi I'm desperately trying to find a purple maf ? Tried a green one but plug was wrong . Any ideas guys ?

[savage bulldogs]

Sorry joe I forgot I'd posted on here .

I don't really like selling things I can't vouch 100% for and it's been sat for at least 18 months .

If you're really stuck and can't find one elsewhere I can chuck mine in the post for £35

[9toejoe]

Cheers dude appreciate it . I'm looking as we speaki let you know for sure tomorrow . Thanks again

[9toejoe]

I'm going to need that maf dude . Been looking all day . Euro car parts quoted 331 quid lol . If you give PayPal I get the money to you asap . Thanks again

[savage bulldogs]

I've pm'd you my pay pal addy

the best way I can think of being fair is for me to send it and if it doesn't work send it back and I'll refund you £30 (other £5 covers postage my end) .

Worst case scenario is we're a fiver down each

.

All the best

clive

[9toejoe]

Cheers thanks a lot dude

[savage bulldogs]

Ok joe

I'll let you know when I get home if the payment gone through and once it's posted I'll pm you a eta , bud

[savage bulldogs]

I'll let you know a eta once I get it posted[emoji6]

[9toejoe]

sorry to be a pain in the !Removed! . Replaced maf and is a lot better but still not 100% . Any ideas ? . Thanks btw bulldog .

[Gambit]

Have you sprayed all the pipes with some water to check for any splits or connection thats not tight.

[9toejoe]

I have checked all the pipes but I will check again in the morning . Just stumped

[savage bulldogs]

Try resetting the ecu , turn the alarm off and disconnecting the Battery earth for about 10 mins , as it might still be compensating for a faulty code .

As gambit said check for leaks in boost and vacuum pipes .

spray brake cleaner around any pipework that's got a vacuum (suck side of the turbo ect...) and the idle will rise if it sucks in the cleaner [emoji6]

And soapy solution around the pipework with positive pressure , you'll see bubbles if it's leaking .

Leads and plugs might be worth a shout if you don't know when they were last changed .

Glad the maf made a bit of difference and best of luck bud [emoji106]
