sabo Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Got my self a problem with my Scooby I was driving went to put my foot down and it just died on me I pulled over tried to start it and it would run really bad and when I tried to rev it she just cuts out it seemed to me that it could be maf sensor because when I fitted my new air induction kit I forgot to plug it in and it run lumpy so I checked that and it seemed ok but I unplugged it and it runs it won't rev over 4000rpm and the engine management light come on and it went into limp mode but it got me home I thought it would be the Maf sensor so I changed that but it still the same any ideas please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 start getting all stored codes and posting them here, then by resetting the ECU and see what codes are set or if it falls back into limp mode - basically what happens after that. miles on car? was the timing belt service done and if so, what parts were swapped.

sabo Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 How do I reset ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) wow, low miles, well, you may still be a coupla years away from a TB service. (original battery? I have had a bad battery trigger spurious codes) We would need more details to even offer educated guesses at this point. Codes would be helpful. i think there is a way to get the car to display the codes on the dash. then, you should be able to reset the ECU; disconnect neg. cable from battery, step on the brake pedal, wait maybe 15 minutes, reconnect(or,disconnect the batt. neg. cable overnight ) reconn. and see if the car runs normally, pops the CEL with new codes or gos back into limp mode?

sabo Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Oh yeah it has had a tb change when the pulleys were fitted at about 10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj7291993 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Should still be able to pull OBDII codes. Parts stores here will pull them for free, should be able to have them check the codes for you. Just don't let them sell you anything yet. They may not give you definitions, but if you can get the numbers, that would be a good place to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
