New oem coils. I generally don't idle it for long but it does all its driving in city traffic. May check for boost leaks as down low is right, it's just when turbo spools up it hasn't got the same power it did... so my guess is either blocked cat, boost leak or the plugs
2 fried coil packs.... replaced them and the spark plugs and she went like a bat outa hell again... 200kms later though and the powers died off again, still quick but nothing like she was when the plugs first went in
Makes sense... ahh well hopefully i'll have a working stagea soon.... only bought it the other day, ran fine on the drive home, go to use it 2 days later and these symptoms happened
yeah, i been reading up on the stagea AFM, and one guy had VERY similar issues as me, seem to break really really easy, so may look into a subie or xtrail replacement one
originally no engine light. i unplugged the AFM to see if it would behave differently (it did, idles so much smoother) but in doing so it has now thrown a check engine light.
I am thinking it may be the AFM now as i'd assume if it wasn't, unplugging it would have made the car worse?
Underpowered M35
Hi guys,
New to stageas (and turbos) just bought an axis M35 VQ25DET. I have noticed that the car has a rather rough idle, doesn't appear to be making any boost but don't have a boost gauge to verify that and tends to jerk around when driving.
My guess is a blown turbo. Has anyone else had these symptoms? Going to take it in to get looked at when I have some time off.
Thanks guys
