Cutting out - Scooby - CherylTDI - 13-07-2019
Hi guys
I am stumped what to do...
I have a Scooby Classic and when I stick my foot down and redline it cuts out, hate it, hate it, want to do a track day but will be a bit embarrassing! I have changed the coolant temp sensor for the dash and ecu but still doing it I really haven't got a clue what it could be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

throttle body not opening up enough maybe ? or dirty
does it have a failsafe/ fuelcut unit wired in is it factory ecu ?

Oi you cheeky sod, lol!!!!
I am not a dodgy driver and only Saturday we had a dyno day and I took 4 people out in my Scooby for a passenger ride 3 of which were males and I was told I was an awesome driver and one wanted me to teach his other half how to drive like it, huh!!!! Let me take you out for a spin eh lol!!!! I don't drive like a female, hahahaha! :tongue_smilie:
Anyway enough of that hehehehe!!!
Throttle Body mmm maybe can check it out thanks
Yes I have an HKS Fuel Cut Defender (FCD) and have tried it with and without still the same.
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Does your car have a obd11 fitment if so compare against another model.
Maybe the maff sensor having issues with getting enough air in, or a lack of fuel is causing the engine to cut out.

Does the car have any other mods? For example is it boosting more than stock, has it been tuned..etc
If so, a couple of things that spring to mind are that you could pushing the injectors too far or maybe you're tune is off.

Yes I have an HKS piggy back ECU. HKS Boost Controller, Front Mount Intercooler, De cat pipe and exhaust.
Injectors mmm maybe, I really don't know what to do it's awful

If you work at TDI, I would have thought there may be someone there who knows about engines? Maybe you could ask them?

Yeah I know but always seem to be too busy for them to have a look at unfortunately!
