95 WRX STi bogs down as soon as reaches boost


Recommended Posts

Recently picked up a 95 WRX STi for not a lot, the car just ran out of its MOT, but the main problem I've found when driving is the car completely bogs down and wants to stall as soon as the revs get to where boost kicks in. The car runs and drives fine off boost, but as soon as you get to that area of rev's the engine just shuts down and you need to lift off. 

 

As I've just picked this up I'm not all that familiar with the boxer engine as I'm used to a simple little MX5 to work on, so any things I should be looking at as a scooby newbie?

 

Apart from a decat, aftermarket exhaust and an AEM boost gauge on the dash, the car seems to be completely standard.

 

Thanks

Boost cut/fuel cut by the sounds of it if it's as you come on boost. Could be quite a few issues causing it. First step would be a edu code check. There is a guide on the forum explaining how to do it on classics. I'll find the link and post it.

Fantastic, I'll have a look at this when I get home.
