What did you do to your Patrol today!

[mudski]

Thanks George!
I don't know anybody with the same year and manual that I can compare the pair with. I spent a while, not long ago looking over connections that are at reach. I didn't pull much apart but yeah, as far as everything i got my hands onto it seemed good. But you have the right idea, as it does seem like something electrical. In saying that though few weeks back in Tallarook, if it was to show that sort of symptom it would have been then as the car copped a good shake over. But that day it too, it had all the power in the world. Might to more analyzing over the weekend, and play with the boost control for the 389284th time, just in case it is something like that.

Wind your needle valve in a tad more Eric....

mark you don't think the ball bearing might be sticking

[Winnie]

It's not limp mode is it?

If it was he wouldn't get his max boost at all...

Nah mate limp mode you can't drive at all until you let off the go pedal and back on again.

Wow...car feels brand new again!!!


Spent a small a fortune but I am ready for the trip. The boys at Patrolapart did a great job. Even little niggly things like fixing up AB's DIY wiring...lol

Hope they gave you a discount with all the free advertising they got out of you this week.

Then thing with electrics is when they get hot they sometimes make a good connection till they get cold again, same as when a globe blows and you tap the lens and it works again untill you turn the light off and the filament breaks contact. The other problem is that you should have a fault code flash up if it was a sensor but i said to try another ecu ( don't go and buy 1 see if we can find another to borrow) in case there is a fault with it for some reason and thats causing all the dramas.

If all the sensors, wiring and all the other electrical components are ok the only other things left are the injector pump, injectors and turbo i would think

Will try that again mate. At the moment It maxes boost around 2000-2500 revs, not sure if that is too slow or too fast.

Nah mate limp mode you can't drive at all until you let off the go pedal and back on again.

Nah definitely not limp mode. When she is in slug mode, the power loss is there way before boost even hits 12-14. Also releasing and re-applying throttle makes no difference.

As far as codes and lights, nothing comes up, as I constantly monitor it on scangauge. The only code there is the EGR code (blocked). And also no lights.
Once again, if it is a mechanical issue, such as the pump, injectors and/or the turbo, it's still very bizzare, why sometimes it gives me all the power in the world.

Over the next few days, I'm gunna drive my Patrol over 700km - on the bitumen - again!! lol
