Power Loss

Recommended Posts

John_205_GTi

I've noticed a slight hesitation/dip in power as soon as i touch the accelerator, plus a couple of times when i last took the car out the engine died completly, does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

Any help will be greatly appreciated as its starting to piss me off a bit.

One cause, which gave the similar symptoms on my Citroen BX GTi 8v (same engine give or take) was a slight air leak the engine side of the AFM. A sticking AFM flap can also be a cause. Whip the AFM off, clean inside, check the trunk for splits and also check the security of the AFM/ECU connector when refitting.

 

Hope it works, but it does sound air related to me.
