Hi guys
I am stumped what to do...
I have a Scooby Classic and when I stick my foot down and redline it cuts out, hate it, hate it, want to do a track day but will be a bit embarrassing! I have changed the coolant temp sensor for the dash and ecu but still doing it I really haven't got a clue what it could be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Does your car have a obd11 fitment if so compare against another model.
Maybe the maff sensor having issues with getting enough air in, or a lack of fuel is causing the engine to cut out.

Does the car have any other mods? For example is it boosting more than stock, has it been tuned..etc

If so, a couple of things that spring to mind are that you could pushing the injectors too far or maybe you're tune is off.

If you work at TDI, I would have thought there may be someone there who knows about engines? Maybe you could ask them? Smile

Confusedad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. Confusedad:
