Hi all

The other night a cooler pipe became disconnected whilst driving. I drove home about another 40kms. I obvioulsly had no boost. I changed the hose the next day to a silicon one. Ever since then once the engine reaches 4-5k rpm it kind of splutters whilst the revs increase. I'm just weandering if driving with a disconnected cooler hose has affected the AFR or could it be something else?

Thanks in advance

the disconnect cooler hose wouldn't have altered the settings of the ecu much, but it probably fouled the plugs from it running as rich as anything. new set of spark plugs should sort it out.

also this should've been posted in the turbo section

100% plugs, try startting it and give it some big! revs in nutrel. if that doesnt work you will have to change the plugs. but dont bother with the irridum ones just get the normal ngk ones.

      You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.

      Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.

      On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.

      Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By Duncan · Posted

      I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
