Down On Power - Bunnyhopping Or Retarding?

[Drift King]

UPDATE - I'm not sure if this will help guys but when the car is idling it tends to 'miss' and not idle smoothly. Under acceleration the car shakes and is down on power. What could it be? It has been suggested it may be water in the coilpacks from cleaning the engine with the hose, but I cannot check as I do not have the tools required.

Hi guys

I need help! I'm not sure what the problem with my car is, currently it feels as though whenever I accelerate the car is hesitant and does not want to go.

About a month ago, I had a Power fc installed and tuned. Other upgrades include HKS T3G turbo (which at the moment is making a slight clicking noise, not sure if it is related, may need high flow?) Hybrid FMIC and GFB Stealth FX BOV set at full plumback.

Not sure if this is related but last week I washed the car including the engine bay, could that have caused damage? Car was not driven until yesterday, roughly a week from when it was washed

The car was dynoed at over 190 rwkw but seems as though it is not making anywhere near that at the moment!

If anyone has any info and/or advise, or further info is required, please let me know. As I do not use the car much due to parking restrictions at work, I am a little annoyed that I have had a few problems with the car.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

Take it back to your tuner.

if you hosed off the engine directly its possible that water got down to yourcoilpacks, makes it miss like crazy the seals on the cover get a bit shit after a while, check that before yelling at your tuner it doesnt take much water to do it

good luck, semo

I was going to take it back to my tuner anyway, just to be safe!

I'll take a look at the coilpacks semo, I have one of those manuals that will help me pinpoint exactly where they are as I suck at the whole mechanic thing!

Thank you both!
