Hesitation issue

[Piri]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I posted this into the wrong category :)

I've got an issue with my wrx from 2006, when hitting around 2k rpm, the car is very hesitant when accelerating and doesn't go further than that even when putting the foot down.

I went to the garage and they said the variable valve timing is incorrect, but what I think is that this might be caused by a knock sensor, this previously happened and after cleaning the knock sensor it worked again.

Now I want to ask, should I have the vvt issue investigated further, or could this even be causing the issue?

 

Thanks,

Piri

Wotcha and welcome -

 

sounds like something is cutting your fuel supply to avoid damage - check the engine codes and see what is there as it may be a sensor triggering it. VVT wouldn't have been my first area to check.

Heya and thanks for the quick reply,

 

I'm not moving sure what the error code was, but it was about the wrong timing on bank 1. I also think it's most likely a sensor, which is why I'm going to replace some of them.

Hopefully that's it, but any idea which sensors could affect the vvt?

 

Cheers,

Piri
