langdon69 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi all, have an issue with the rolla, will start and idle, but as soon as you put any revs on it, it gets " chocked" and almost does. Has new plugs, new fuel filter, exhaust isn't blocked, tried a new map sensor, new air filter, just won't go past 2k. Left me stranded on my way to work yesterday. Couldn't even drive it onto a car trailer as I said it chocked itself one you aply power. My mechanic doesn't seem to think its the fuel pump, but he has no idea what the problem is. Help please?!!

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Vacuum leak? And I'd seriously consider finding another mechanic if yours can't diagnose an issue on a 4AGE. Edited September 7, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langdon69 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Cool I'll have a look this afternoon when I go check on the car, yeah fair point, he is good, but spends most of his time on fiats, lancias, alfas etc. cheers for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Does it have an AFM or MAP? My MAP sensor was buggered and caused a similar issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langdon69 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Has map sensor, got a brand new one but made no difference. Will suggest tps and vaccine leak to him on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) When my MAP was dodgy it was just then loom plug. Edited September 7, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
