Ok so this just started happening, and i dont know what is going on. But when i go WOT anything after 4K it just sputters like it's hitting a fuel cut, but i know it's not. It just started happening about a week ago. and i dont know what could cause it.

 

it's a 1.8 turbo, compression is 150psi across the board

Check for vacuum leaks.

Air filter, fuel filter, intake boot, post-turbo ducting.

I had another turbo car that did similar things with a bad Maf...

 

and yet another that did it with a bad computer.

Now im glad i did not make the 6 hr drive to buy that car befroe you...

Ah yes - the lonesome and empty feelings of regret when the much maligned EA82T bites back. Much like a pitbull - many of them seem to strike without warning.... unless you count the warnings from this board of course.

 

Unfortunately there is no way we can help without a lot more information. It could be almost anything - and given the primitive nature of the EA82T's systems - it's highly likely that it's more than one thing.

Is the CEL on? What are the codes?

 

Fuel cut right at 4000 sounds like either a speed sensor, or TPS being bad or giving bad readings.

it was the maf that died, it was reading 3v just at idle so it was just dumping fuel in for no reason
