Hi, need some help was coming home turned a corner then went to put my foot down and my calais just died in the ass every time i continued to put my foot down it was like it was hitting rev limiter at 1500 revs... i got home finally at 60k with just putting a little pressure on accelrator but i have no clue.... could it be something to do with the gas system on my car or could it be the auto? any help appreciated

check your AFM if its playing up it wont let u rev past bout 2000rpm and the car will splutter and act like a s1ut... try unplugging the afm and if the car sitll runs the same u know ur afm has died

lol all new to this n bein female lol whats a afm?? air flow meter?? lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

highly unlikely its the gas system check all the regular electrical sh1t, afm, cas, dizzy cap etc chances are its the afm or afm wiring suss this thread and have a bit more of a search, its a farely common problem so there will be heaps of threads around http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=71798

the afm is the air flow meter... its the thing which is connected to your air box... ask forza said, have a quick little search and have a read...and hopefully u'll suss out the problem and learn more about the car at the same time

thanks, ill have a look around tried the afm and changed it with one of another vl but no improvment so ill check everything else... thanks guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if u running on gas the afm will have no afect as its not needed so it ur running on gas all the time u can leave the afm disconnected

well then i dont think its the afm then its got me stuffed it was running fine... then i turned a corner and went to acclerate and it hit 1500 and didnt wanna go nywhere my gear box is kinda *****d though so could that be the problem? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what exactly is it doing? spluttering, tacho needle going spastic, or it just wont go past 1500?

was the car actually running on gas at the time? can you rev the car in neutral? have you tried opening the throttle by hand?

every time it gets close to 1500 it jumps around, the car was runnin on gas at the time it does the same thing in neutral and i tried revving it from under the bonnet and same thing it gets to the point were it stalls if i do it to much or hold it flat out

what does it do on petrol? if you havent fixed it with in the next few weeks i could look at it, my nan lives in portland, i go down there sometimes

sounds more like ignition than anything

it doesnt run that well on petrol but hasnt since i bought it so not sure let me know when ya coming down if i havn't fixed it it'll be appreciated thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

put a pic up of ur engine bay so we can see what gas system ur car is running. if it idles and wont rev sound like its getting really lean. just a long shot but how much gas is in the tank???? u would be surprised how many time a faulty guage causes this problem !!!?!!!!!???!

It has the yellow bar plus one green bar but it could be faulty... hmm.. will put up a pic tommrrow bit dark now lol thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

my old car had that problem. gas converter was stuffed

as above.. my dads old 1fz-fe running on dual fuel did the exact same thing.. was the gas converter that would freeze, just ended up replacing it.. was a b2 but i doubt the rb would run them as their a small engine

I you put up a photo of yourself you could possibly get one of the Melbourne boys to drive down and fix it for you. :P

if she does that, half of ct would be knocking on her door trying to fix her gas problem
