Need help diagnosing problem (video)
I was driving to cincy when my car started losing power. I had no throttle response, could barely make it up hills, and the car would sputter under heavy throttle. No check engine light came on and none flashed would I grounded the connector. I've checked the following:
TPS (in range) AFM (all values in spec) Fuel Pressure (stayed around 35-40psi) Spark on all plugs I checked for vacuum leaks and found none I even created a gasket "block off plate" for the acv to make sure it wasnt leaking Now when i give it any gas or WOT i can't get it to go above 2000rpms. I've attached a video for helping diagnose this. Cost me $500 to tow back home so I'm pissed and ready to blow it up. The only thought I have now is either throttle body or clogged cat. Honestly I have no idea though. Thanks for the help. |
I feel your pain brother, I'm dealing with the same BS on my car and want to blow mine up as well (anyone have a Barrett M107 available?!) You have checked all the things I would have recommend to. OMP? Is there a possibility that the AFM is bad and still checks out well with a meter? I have an extra AFM I just need to see if it is a S5. Did you check the TPS with a DVOM or did you just use the two light method? If not, do it with a DVOM and check for smooth movement across the throttle range.

Have you checked for fuel yet? I know you put in a new pump, but what about the filter?
My $200 offer stands! |
FUEL.FILTER!!
Replace.it..My.old.S5.had.the.same.problem. |
Sounds and acts like a blocked exhaust.
|
It's an S5..you are in LIMP MODE Dude!
that is what happens when your OMP is either on it's way out or Disconnected. Check the CODES,,pull em up and see. |
^ ^ ^ "No check engine light came on and none flashed would I grounded the connector."
|
Seriously! Get a new fuel filter! Haha
It's cheap and may fix the problem. |

Well that is definitely a problem, he may very well have the same issue.
|
the light works, fuel filter was changed not long ago....
|
Well, assuming it's not in limp mode then, my next thought would be a clogged cat.

yep.

Actually, the clogged cat is a distinct possibility.
I hate to say it, but check compression. How is your oil pressure? It could also be a bad connection in the wiring harness. |
