have some major issue with my gtst. am struggling to even get up a hill without a cruising run up at it at present. once the boost needs to raise the car just labours/surges with no power. does this even on flat surfaces if trying to boost as well. any help appreciated.

could it be the afm , considiering it runs ok under normal driving conditions&just like a bag o shit under load?

yeah fuel pump is next thing, have hardwired as per the way this thread has stated, but no noticeable difference really. if the pump is stuffed will it still able to be pumpin fuel readily enough, can get the car going fine like probably about 140km/h on the straight, but as soonas try for thaT LITTLE BIT MORE, SEE THE BOOST GAUGE CREEP OFF ZERO, THEN IT JUST DOESNT SEEM TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON AND JUST COUGHS and splutters, the boost will go then drop, go then drop etc, but with no power sort of thinmg. is hard to xplain

could be coilpacks. does it miss at all when up in the revs?? what about idle, does it idle a bit rough at times?? if you wind the boost down does it help??

if you get stuck, call hunter thomas automotive 49681362 and speak to paul thomas, he is the man.

cheers

Will most probably be the AFM. Try to get another one to plug in temporarily. ie Borrow from a friend or try to talk an importer into lending you one for ten minutes and you'll buy one if that's the prob. They usually do this for ya.

While you're doing that, check your spark plugs. What condition are they in? Showing signs of running lean or rich? if not then AFM if lean then possibly fuel pump or injector, if rich then possibly plugs or coil packs.

Hope this helps.

Something quick and cheap you could try is tape up your coilpacks with electrical tape and then take it for a spin. If it's better you know it is coil related, if it doesn't make a difference then you know the problem could be elsewhere.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
