whats up turbo brickers, newbie here, ive been lurking for a while. Been looking for answers to a problem I have but I cant figure it out. I have a few ideas of my own but maybe somebody out there can help guide me in the right direction. Here is what I know:
In my '91 740 wagon with a mitsubishi 16g "big" turbo, I am having the following problems:
-Idles like crap (not too worried about this to be honest)
-When decelerating, the engine sputters quite a bit and it only sounds decent when im giving it some gas.
-I am loosing power under boost. By this i mean that the car seems to be running ok and getting most of what it needs up until I hit boost, then the rpms dont want to go up at all. Runs much better when accelerating in vacuum. I should note that it IS building pressure, im just not getting any sort of power at all from it.
I tried running it without the MAF and there was absolutely no change. does this indicate that the MAF is the problem? I saw another post that mentioned the wastegate actuator as a potential problem, but if that was the case, i wouldnt be seeing any pressure building, right? I checked the codes in the OBD system and it told me AMM or 02s but I believe there is something else going on. hopefully this wasnt to much information. thanks in advance if youre taking the time to read this!
