Vts flat spot on acceleration

  1. #1
    Hi
    Have problem with vts engine converted into 205
    Single plug ECU
    Right if I floor it pulls hard till 4k then feels like it hits a wall but still revs out
    Was happening every now and then but all the time now
    Any suggestions? Or experience with this problem

    That could be literally anything.
    Coil pack
    fuel pump/injectors
    air leak
    failing flywheel sensor

    Cheers martin
    So IV got new walbro fuel pump
    Injectiors cleanned , checked
    Swapped crank sensor with known good one
    No air leaks
    Only other thing is when first started hot or cold I'll drive down road and completely bogs I either have to lift my foot off and on or floor it
    Only thing I haven't tried is map sensor
    Anyone know if these are the symptoms?
    Many thanks

    When you first start, the ECU runs in open loop, ignoring the lambda sensor.

    So, if its bogging it's putting in too much fuel

    If it's hesitant then it's lean.

    Too much fuel with a normal ECU is either wrong fuel pressure reg or rail plumbed has been plumbed in the wrong way.

    The injectors have been changed and the wrong flow rate installed is a possibility too.

    I'll bet whoever swapped the loom in, didn't include the wiring for the diagnostics plug or the EML either.

    You might have a faulty TPS, but that wouldn't account for the sudden change at 4000rpm.
