VR6 Lack of power

**ScienceVR6** · 03-10-2007, 07:57 PM

Latly my VR6 has been playing up and losing power after it had been sitting idleing at the traffic lights. After strugling through the power loss, i back off and let the car idle, and it clears up and goes as well as ever. WHATS GOING ON!! This is giving me the ****s.

Mate you need a scan on your ecu mate to check your sensors. First port of call. Air/fuel ratio problem by the sounds

Have you got the A/C on? It's been bloody hot these days.

Did you change the oil and get it serviced yet?

compression tests are easy to do, i always try to do them when ever i have the plugs out. sounds like it could be a bad fuel pickup, maybe your pump filter in the tank is blocked , so it will only pump a small amount of fuel. and when you nail it it gets used , they when you back off the fuel pump catches up. worth thinking about.
