jamesdean Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So this weekend took my car out as normal and it started bogging downin 2nd,3rd and 4th at 5200rpm But after a while it will run normal. Ive had no lights come up. The only thing that comes to my mind is the butterfly could be gettin stuck or something. Has anyone had this problem??

Ricey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Have you taken a peek at the butterfly to see if its crudded up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The first thing to do is check butterfly, clean, clean maf and check there is no leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Carefully with carb cleaner but if you upset it then you an do a reset. Realistically to clean it without upsetting it you need it off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsniss350z Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I would totally agree with Dblock on this one as there is a fair chance that your butterfly is completely full of crap. It wouldn't do any harm in cleaning out your MAF as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Get a GTM s/c fitted and you can blast you way through 5200rpm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
