hesitation on a turbo civic


rl

Recommended Posts

I cant figure this out...a turbo civic i built (stock SOHC vtec 1.6 with a turbo and intercooler @6psi) has picked up a hesiotation, below 3k if you go to WOT it doesnt move, it like jerks a little, then slowlyaccelerates, as soon as it hits like 3k-3500 it takes off like normal...

 

I was thinking normal tune up stuff? maybe the Vtec solenoid is sticking?

I'm thinking test the throttle position sensor first. Do you have any sort of air/fuel gauge on the car? What does it do when you try and accelerate, go too rich or too lean?

I need to hook his AF gage up for him acctualy...

the TPS seonsor is kinda crushed (the connector) but it worked fine for weeks...maybe I'll swap throttle bodies and see if that fixes it.

I've heard of the problem on SCs under boost, does it do it when you rev it in N, or just in gear? Common solutions seem to be changing:

plugs

injectors

blower (if you're unlucky), snout(if you's lucky)

Come drive Jesses XR7, see if its the same behavior.

Whaere did you get the turbo, have anyone check it out?

My friend has that a problem like that when he punches it, but his is clutch slip. You might have the same problem, he's only had it in about a week and the power he's making is killing his stock clutch, that's just something you might want to look at.
