GPvRs come with turbo as standard!!

Postby optical illusion » Fri Jun 08, 2012 6:58 pm

Okay, this may not be true :D

I dunno what the hell is going on, but in the last few months my car feels, what I can mostly describe, as having a turbo fitted.

I'm driving along, it can happen in any gear and usually not accelerating or decelerating, just maintaining... then bang! the car feels like it is building up to something and gives a boost of acceleration? Throtlle doesn't feel sticky and TPS was multimetered recently for emissions and showing fine.

Would it have anything to do with my rev needle going all over the place when driving do you think?

Does anyone know can you multimeter the air intake sensor? Nothing showed up in diagnostics and camskill have said that it would if faulty...

Hi Laura,

I had similar erratic emissons issues.
Code 62 was not always present, it was only generated when the sensor was acting up.
I just managed to catch it would day while car was running very rough.
