No Power in Upper Rev past 4k

any ideas?:y: Cheers

check your back box, see if the wadding has come loose and is blocking the exit

[ThegreenVTR]

checked all the exhaust, could it be coil pack?

[pjm300]

could be, are there any other symptoms?
is your induction kit blocked? given it a service recently? changed anything recently?

I know you have said you have checked your exhaust, but have you checked your Catalyst converter? A collapsed CAT will strangle nearly all power!

Decatted pipe mate ;)

[pjm300]

did it happen suddenly, or has it got worse over time? any warning lights showing?

Replaced the filter last week. Service last week new oil, air, fuel filters including plugs and obv oil lol. Replaced the fuel tank but that is it? Could the pump in the tank itself be blocked?

[ThegreenVTR]

took the coil pack off and connected plugs too about an inch spark on all of them but just thinking it could be killing it when under compression?

[pjm300]

and its been worse since you did these works yeah?

[ThegreenVTR]

suddenly after i had done the tank but i cant see anything obv rong. The engine yellow light is coming up on the dash, had it plugged in yesterday came up with a faulty map sensor, replaced that with a new one today and still it does it. Have tried un plugging ecu and re connecting it but still nothing

[ThegreenVTR]

yea i know it points everything to the tank but i have tried everything

[pjm300]

how long did you leave the ecu disconnected for? have you had the faults reset since you changed the MAP sensor?

it might be the pump has picked up some shit when you changed the tank, or might be a burnt out pump which isnt playing ball. have you checked the fuel filter?

[ThegreenVTR]

changed the fuel filter the day after changing the tank. Left the ecu disconnected overnight. Had all the faults reset today at my local garage

[pjm300]

hmmmm

does the fuel pump sound right? is the ecu light still on?

[ThegreenVTR]

high pitched whine? its higher than the old one anyway, and yea ecu light still on. looking in my haynes manual says it goes into a safe mode when that light comes on.

[pjm300]

tbh it could be that the pump is pumping against a restriction... so there could be a blockage right after the pump, or its just funked.

do you ahve the old pump from the old tank?

i take it its stil a vtr engine in there, so just the flow to the rail? have you tried taking the pipe off the rail and seeing if theres suitable flow there, or getting a pressure gauge to see how much pressure there is?

[jablitt]

MAF sensor? coil pack? my money would be on either of them.

hows the over all performance of the car besides the problems at 4,000 RPM?

[ThegreenVTR]

where is the maf sensor located its a silver top vtr. I beggining to hink coil pack.

[pjm300]

if its coil pack, ive got one for a mk1 silvertop vtr sitting in my front room lol

[ThegreenVTR]

how much would you want for it?

[pjm300]

30 + delivery mate

[ThegreenVTR]

will let you know buddy and where will i find the maf sensor?

[Lozza_vtr]

There is no MAF sensor on saxo's.
