Zd30 won't accelerate past 90

[chewindust]

Hey guys. I've been looking through the posts but I haven't gone through all of them yet. With so much helpful info that everyone here has put, up I still haven't been able to find anything that might help my current situation. I have only recently put a new clutch in my car and connected everything back up. I learned that this has two oil pressure switches, one near the oil filter and one above the starter motor. I also discovered a blockage in the vacuum line and have replaced the small hoses. I have gone over the motor quite a few times but I still can't figure out why when I take it for a drive and accelerate that it is very slow to get to 80 and won't get over 90. The moths in my wallet tell me I don't have much money so I can't go buying all the things I need for it just yet. I haven't put any of the NADS things on it yet but I need it to get back on the road ASAP. Can anyone offer some solution?

sounds like you are not getting any boost, is it blowing heaps of black smoke,
what area are you in ???

[chewindust]

Hi three dogs, I'm in Townsville. It's not blowing heaps of black smoke, blows a bit under heavy acceleration when in neutral. But I can't even get the revs very high while in gear.

when was the last time the MAF sensor was cleaned ??

[chewindust]

I bought some cleaner a couple weeks ago and cleaned it last week

still think maybe a vacuum hose is on wrong, did it all of a sudden lose power
or was after you changed a few bits
What year is it BTW

[chewindust]

It's an 03. It wasn't a sudden loss it just seems to happen while in gear.

still sounds like your turbo is not working, Id recheck all the vacuum hoses.
Your EGTs must be getting up there too, thats why we stress to NADS
your Patrol so you can see whats happening,, I know funds dont allow it
ATM.

[chewindust]

Yeah I was worried about that. The turbo is reasonably new so I hope it isn't buggered. Can you tell me please three dogs where might be the best place to get these things for the NADS?

[threedogs]

Dont think the turbo is buggered just think its not working
Give Mudski a PM he's your go to man for all things NADS related
