Engine Problem!

[PhilGTR]

Hey guys,

I just took my GTR out for a drive tonight. And i left about 20 secs up my street, when i was driving up a hill just normally not pushing it, i suddenly felt a lost of power and then i can hear rattling sounds from the engine. I can still drive it but when it is idling it feels like its about to stall, it idles really rough. I didnt really hear anything blow or pop. just sudden lost of power.

Also when i try to start up the car again it kind of struggles to start but when it does it idles rough for a little while then its normal again. But when i rev it up to about 4k rpm and let it go back to idle I can hear a bit of ratttling from the engine. Also i noticed the standard boost gauage is sitting above -7 now. Hope its not a blown turbo or engine!

Help please!

Does it blow smoke? Usually it would if you've done some turbo damage.

Maybe it dropped a cylinder as one of the coil packs died?

Or it needs a new fuel filter/injector clean?

Or even a clogged air filter?

Does it boost at all? Did the guage always work correctly or maybe you have just noticed the guage isn't working now that you think you have broken something?

Lots of smoke will mean serious damage more than likely

cheers

Hey,

-No there is no smoke anywhere that i can see or smell. I coudlnt see any leaks either.

-I just got some brand new apexi pods so it cant be clogged.

-The boost gauage has always worked. when not on the throttle it sits around -7, but now its a bit higher.

I suspect its either an injector problem or coil packs or maybe spark plugs? Maybe??
