Etm?

[stribo]

Went to look at a car today with a view to buy and do up, then sell on. The ETS light was on, and it was hunting on idle. I took it for a run, and to start with it picked up, and boosted fine, after a while it lost power, and made a whooshing sound as if it had popped a boost hose, by the time I got back, it still had no power/ wasn't boosting, but there was no noise, so popped the bonnet and all hoses were where they should have been. Is this all likely to be down to the ETM, or do you think there are other issues.

[M-R-P]

Nope - won't be ETM, sounds more like a split/loose hose somewhere or even split i/c.

ETM gives erratic idle, random stalls, flatspots in the rev range but won't cause a woosh. or permanent loss of power. Didn't you plug your code reader into it?

[stribo]

No, I forgot

[M-R-P]

D'oh!

Sounds like a boost leak somewhere mate. or possibly a coil pack breaking down.

[stribo]

A coilpacdk wouldn't cause a noise though would it. It's just strange it stopped, but power didn't pick up.

[M-R-P]

ME7 - when it detects a boost leak, it'll cut power by limiting boost/fuel/ throttle response (depending on mood)

Coil pack was just something I thought I'd throw in

unless the woosh was the noise generated by the car suddenly shutting the throttle due to a coil pack going. (can't remember what mine did when it threw a coil, ran like a 3 legged donkey tho)

What car was it Steve ?

[stribo]

It wasn't misfiring at all just had no boost. Oh well, if it needs a new intercooler that's no biggie, as I'm going to have a spare one.

What car was it Steve ?

A Volvo

Go for another look mate, check the bottom i/c hose and the short collar between the turbo and top pipe.

[stribo]

Won't have time now, a boost leak I can live with, though the drive home might be fun.

Its either a boost hose split or a sticky waste gate

Don't know what a P1200 is, but no

[M-R-P]

P1200 - Injector control unit fault

[stribo]

Its either a boost hose split or a sticky waste gate

Both of those are easy fixes looks like it could be worth having then.

That's not a type of Volvo.
