Limp mode around 70 to maybe faster??

Post by smilie121 »

Upon accelerating hard around 70 or maybe more the turbo cuts out. Stopping and restarting the engine fixes it. Happened about 4 times this week.

I'm going to check the MAF if it can be cleaned and hoses for leaks on Sunday. Anyone suggest what else to look at? I read the boost switch could be the culprit, how could i test that?

To note the EGR is unplugged.
