sooo... i took my car to a shop recently and i was far away from my regular mechanic because i was outta town and anyways - the guy said my turbo was setup wrong and that he fixed it (this was in london). now when i try and stop i stall?? i checked all the vacuum lines and all my guages are reading propper measurements. i have no idea what's going on any advice would be helpful. now i have to really gently slow down and it kind of sucks because when i'm traffic i "almost" stall quite frequently.

- btw, i swear i read something similar to this. someone had to do the same thing to prevent from stalling. i couldn't find the thread again though!

 

try turning up the idle,
you may also have a boost leak somewhere

 

i had the same problem about a week ago. mine was just a loose vacuum line goin into the tb.

 

im sure you did but did you disconnect the battery and reset the ecu.

 

what did the mechanic "fix" anyways??

 

yea i disconnected battery and let the ecu relearn aaaand i have no idea what he fixed. he just said he fixed the turbo when i was leaving (at first i thought he did something good and just left not knowing). maybe moved around some vaccuum lines? but i checked and i don't see a leak anywhere. and if i was leaking, wouldn't it show on the boost guage? but my idle looks fine..

how do you turn up the idle?

btw thanks everyone!

 

Your ECU will need to re-learn the settings over a period of about 300-500 miles and the sputtering while decelerating will go away.

 

ahh, deff didnt know that ^^

good to know though i always though i just messed something up eveytime i unhooked the bat, worked on something, and then took it for a spin only to have it act up

 

Are you running your blow off vta?

 

theshortbus - are you ahving the same problems? lol, maybe i read it in your thread? 300-500 miles, eh? sighh, i guess it can't be helped! thanks senate!

umm... i'm pretty sure i'm not vta cause my bov is quite quiet outside unless i really rip it. how do you know for sure if it's recirc? i just assumed everything was okay cause i let my mechanic double check the wires. lol - btw, sorry i've been slow at replyin gon this thread.. i've been quite busy running a billion errands!
