totally faffed off with my c70

[c70geoff]

well all was going great guns today as i managed to change the abs ring with relative ease so braking issues sorted but now out of nowhere i have an issue with the kickdown on the car
if i lift and then floor it the car changes down but then limits the revs to about 3000rpm once i lift up and drive normally, well as normal as one can, the speed picks up quite nicely
anybody shed some light on this please

[c70geoff]

just took her for a spin and she dont wanna rev above 3000rpm in 1st and 2nd but soon as i take foot back out gas pedal a bit she goes up nicely
please folks anyone shed some light on this

Safe or Limp mode?? this happened to me but on a manual, wouldn't go over 3k revs. Not to sure on auto's though buddy

I'd agree with above. I wouldn't have thought that the ABS sensor would cause you issues, but maybe tou knocked another sensor/plug out of the gearbox and unplugged it.
code reader anyone???

Could be a number of things mate, best thing and step one would be to get someone with a gud machine For some diagnostics! And take it from there.

plugged it in and got code p1171
checked code and means running lean on bank one
could be one of many things so started with easy one first and unplugged maf sensor and low and behold she turned into the flying beast she should be so guess in need a new sensor

i had that code on a c70 a couple of years back. i was lucky enough to be able to clean the maf with carb spray and it fixed it, may work on yours so i would say worth a try.

spray the hell out of it and look on the element for what looks like a thin grease/jelly build up, be careful with a pin and remove the stuff.

mine was like night and day afterwards, massive difference

was the best £3 ever spent
