Thread: Won't go over 60km/h

I was low on power so i did the first and logical step (in my mind) and that was clean the sensors and see if that fixed it, but i think what happened is the 20+ year old sensors didnt take kindly to the cleaning and thus broke. So when the fuel pump was replaced it fixed the original issue, but the now broken sensor caused the low power on take offs. This makes the most sense to me because before the pump died the car was driving perfectly fine.

So once the new map turns up hopefully it will be back to how it was, or better, but i will take how it was

No problem, the Map sensor was showing bad values in the first log as well, cleaning, although always worth a shot, obviously didn't sort it in this case unfortunately

1. I'm trying to help people based on many years of hard study of the D2's systems from all the sources i can find(i've learned a lot from this forum as well)... and from personal experience after i fixed myself many electrical problems on them for me and friends just out of hobby

2. I dont underestimate anybody, i swear!... if that's how it looks it's probably due to the fact that english is my 3'rd language, i think in hungarian which is my birth language and translating it in english the best way i can

3. Sorry if you feel that way, it was never my intention to contradict you or anybody else without arguments but in your reply i saw "probably" and "more likely" which for me are part of a guessing process and guessing based on experience is not something to blame in my mind, also my reply about your "good guess" was a kind of admiration not contradiction(from my point of view)

4. That's not fair... especially in this thread cos my first "guessing" about the fuel pump was actually the main issue and my reply about the MAP was to save the OP from buying a sensor without being 100% confirmed cos even in your reply there were two unlikely but possible chances to not be the sensor itself

I hope you didnt misunderstood me again so my apologies if you felt offended and i'm not gonna reply again on this no matter what.

I Apologise if the difference in language nuances has caused me to over react.

I don't intend to detract from the help you have given others, but it has come across ( to me at least ) over the years that you have contradicted my posts on a regular basis as if some kind of ****ing competition.

Well done on the Languages though, I can struggle with 1 and a bit .

FPR replaced car was a bit better.

New map sensor in and the car is like new.

Thanks to all that helped during this journey
