My TTA is not running to good and I think that it may be
something in the electrical system. It seems to run worse
after dark when I have the headlights on. I drove it today when
it was about 75 degrees and sunny outside and it ran pretty
decent unless I tried to floor it, than it would stumble and surge
and then smooth out and pull strong. If I slowly gave it gas it
would pull smooth clear up to red line(18lbs.boost)and ran fine.
The scanmaster numbers all look good,except the 02,s are a little
high(mid 800,s)which I know the car runs rich. Here is the part
that I don't understand, since the car is rich it should run better
when the weather is cooler, right ? Well I took the car out tonight
and the temperature was about 60 degrees and the car ran really
bad. It ran good if I was just cruising around with no boost,but if
I tried to give it gas and build some boost it would start missing
real bad and it felt like it was loading up and a couple of times it
did take off,but I could feel it surging really bad as it exelerated.
The only thing that I did different between today and tonight was
turn the headlights on. Could this be an electrical problem causing
this ? Could it be a bad ingition module ? I already replaced the
coil pack,02 sensor,and maf sensor. What do you guys think ?
Thanks James
