Scoobydoobydan Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Taking the Scooby for a spin and get a really hard jolt on quick acceleration is this due to dirty airfilter or a possible bad spark plug?? Airfilter is only a new one a few months back a K&N? Possible airflow?? Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 A jolt like a cut in power? Could be fuel cut. If low on fuel and exiting a corner you will get fuel cut. I've had it a few times. Even as high as just below half tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it a few times. Even as high as just below half tank.It happened on 1/4 tank, and still again on a full tank???Like a fuel issue not getting in quick enough or lack of air???? No leaks that I can see?? Fuel filter???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Possible over boost and boost cut? Does it feel like its ran out of fuel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobydoobydan Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Possible over boost and boost cut? Does it feel like its ran out of fuel? It only on hard acceleration, now you say it it's like the boost cuts out, then it cuts in again if I ease off the pedal again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 When I was mapped my boost would hit the limit in 4th and give me the cut. Duncan raised my limiter to avoid it. Have you made any changes that could increase boost? Possibly sticky wastegate or actuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Did they take the down pipe off and leave a blow? Any cel? Could perform the system test and check boost solenoid. Give it a clean for good measure. Saying that I was meant to clean mine recently [emoji19] [emoji38] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobydoobydan Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yes down pipe was removed, Boost solenoid came up on google once or twice, so will check and give that a clean....... Hoping it's something quick and easy to fix!!! :D Really grateful for the help / advice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Pavely Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Sounds like what mine was doing I swap the fuel pump relay with the rear wiper relay and fitted a new fuel pump seems ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
