2.5 v6 low on power
« on: 30 October 2016, 07:42:01 »
Hi I'm having a problem with my 2.5 v6 it's low on power Till it goes over 3000 rpm then it goes as it always does
I've fitted new plugs
Coolant temperature sensor
I've also tried another air flow meter
Nothing showing up on my vaux com
Or my mates tech 2
Has anybody else had a problem like this?

My first thought was,are the multi rams working? I could be way off on this and no doubt someone will be along later to shoot me down and advize better!

Check your compression, should be between 12 - 15 bar and no more than 1 bar difference between cylinders :y My HGs went stripped it and the cylinders where coked up and the valves needed a decoke and lapping compressions are now up and equal :D

Good shout, especially if it's a sudden fault ;)

Recheck recent work done and be sure that the various vacuum pipes are properly connected.

There's a guide for testing the multirams :y

Ok I've checked the muti ram that looks to be working ok
I've put a new fuel filter on an it looks like the old 1 has collapsed lots of s#*t coming out of it an it rattling inside
So I checked inside the tank for bits that maybe in there but it looks ok

I was surprised when you said Multirams were fine, to be honest. It really is classic Multiram failure.

If you want to whip your plenum off, you can replace/swap fairly easily the actuator/solenoid witht he one on the front intake, or alternatively, the SAI system, they're all, handily, the same. In theory, the SAI only kicks in on startup, so gets lots less use than the others.  :)
