Hello.

I'm having a very strange problem with my 1Z engine, and I don't know what to do anymore.
and I hope someone here can help me icon_cry.gif.
I've also already used the search function, but unfortunately without success.
Okay, so here's my problem:

When I'm stopped at a traffic light and occasionally press the accelerator hard, everything is fine up to 4000 RPM.
As soon as I exceed 4000 RPM, the engine almost dies, and when I put it in the...
I can't see anything in the rearview mirror anymore, just smoke, and it's very dark smoke!!!???!!!
Okay, hier ist die Übersetzung:

"Or, for example, when I'm driving on the highway and accelerating, it reaches a speed of up to 130 km/h."
It runs reasonably well, but it cuts out at 130 km/h. If I then press the accelerator, it will go up to 150 km/h after about 10 seconds, but then it cuts out again and it simply won't accelerate any further.
If I pump it again with the gas for 10 seconds, it goes up until 170, and then it stops again icon_confused.gif. After another 10 seconds of pumping, it goes up to 190, where it stays for a while, and eventually, the top speed drops down to about 175 !!!???!!!

Does anyone know about this problem icon_question.gif?

Okay, I wanted to add that the engine has a chip, and I also installed a new mass airflow sensor (MAF). When I first bought the car, and even after replacing the MAF, I thought the problem might be the chip. However, when I remove the chip, the car runs even worse, and the problem persists.

I hope someone can help me here icon_redface.gif.

Thank you in advance.

hi

If the device doesn't even run under no-load conditions, I would first remove the chip.

Before, it was just groping around in the dark icon_smile.gif.

Congratulations, you've just stepped in it!

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.


And if I understand you correctly, you don't have a chip, but rather a box tuning.

My God, how petty. Instead of helping...

Regarding your problem, I don't think your 1Z engine is lacking in fuel injection icon_wink.gif.
If it's blowing out that strongly, there's probably a leak somewhere in the boost pressure system.
Otherwise, the LMM wouldn't allow such a strong Russian outflow.
Have you already checked all the charging hose connections for leaks?

It's also possible that the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is stuck. This would explain the "pumping" phenomenon. It's best to disconnect the EGR valve, as described in the technical article.

I have to admit that Wolfi is right.

@ Heizer

Please review the technical articles on "performance loss."

I have an idea:

- totally stupid chip.
- Loss of boost pressure (but you hardly have any boost at idle anyway).
- LMM failure (new does not necessarily mean "perfect"!)

We can best help you if you provide us with measurement data (logged using VAG-COM).
