Go back to the set up you had when it was OK and then see how you go.

These cheap "performance" mods just don't work "full stop". All they do is what they say "fool" the sensor into thinking that the parameters are not as they are.

Yea..I guess I got suckered. bcuz my car was in an open loop ( bad O2 sensors) I just wanted sum to get me by!

Anywayzz, I will try that option and take it from there....

Thanks for the help guys!.

P.s. One off topic question doh.. what is the importance of replacing my fuel filter on my car that has done 140k ?

lol...gussed as much. However, it does have an off switch and I think most of the times the issue happend the chip was off.

But I will get the chip out ASAP.

So other than that.. I should have any other major issues to worry about right?

does the 3GSE have an airflow sensor? have you cleaned that?

Yea I did clean the MAF sensor....problem happend 2 hrs after I did!

Easy to damage the wires in there so I would go for a new one first off.

Ok...but I'm 100% sure the sensor is not cheap..so I wouldn't be to hurry to change it unless I really need to!

does the 3GSE have an airflow sensor? have you cleaned that?

Good call Stav. The 3S-GE has a MAF sensor and it is well worth giving it a clean.

Have you got any mods to the car like inlet or exhaust?

Oh and welcome to LOC BTW :D

Well I do have a Next Level Perfromace chip that I got off of eBay (lame I kno) but I the problem did happen once b4 I installed the piggy bach chip ( but if seem to have worsen after doh)

Hi guys,

As the topic indicates, I seem to be having a very tricky engine issue.

Synopsys:

For the past 4 months my car has been cutting off intermittently (once a month) while idling (once) and during acceleration (three times).

Diagnostic:

When the car cuts off I notice the engine light comes on, however, I am able to restart the car soon after with no problems. Also, and ECU scan showed no errors!

Note: For the past year I had two bad O2 sensors but I did replace them both last week and the problem still reoccurred 3 days after a full service (exclusive of replacement fuel filter). Also, the car seems be be holding back a bit when I mash the X!

Any hints as to what maybe be the root cause of this issue or where should I begin to troubleshoot?

Thanks in advance,

Seanos.
