Take a look at this please..



Can anyone explain the lack of power/torque between 1000 and 1300rpm for me?

Have replaced all the sensors now apart from the TPS. The hesitation is really apparent during town driving, it's fine as long as the revs don't drop below 1500rpm but if they do I need to downshift, feels worse than driving a diesel 106! PITA as I can't just drop it in 6th and cruise, have to constantly work the gearbox.

Could a duff TPS cause this if every other sensor's been replaced? The wiring was dodgy and was shorting out until I fixed it, this problem's been here ever since.

Mate my car is just the same. I have changed most things (including the map sensor) but still no luck! My mate at the garage said he had a mi16 come in running the same as mine. Just around that rev range it feels like it's missing. It turned out to be 2 slightly bent valves from where it must have had a snapped cam-belt at some point and the valves were not noticed to be bent and were not replaced. The valves was not sitting right. This I hope is not the case for me or you. But if I find out what it is I will let you know.
