1.4t advice

[Leonh]

Where’s all my boosted boys at ? need some advice with the car.. runs fine drives fine seems VERY slow like very slow off boost!

 

[frank]

it could be anything leon, we would just be guessing

 

[Leonh]

Is there things I should be checking? It’s on standard injectors atm also.. there’s no second lambda fitted as no bung in the exhaust stupid exhaust fab didn’t put one in! Would that matter as its post cat?!

 

[frank]

i doubt if it would be those leon, the 2nd head gasket will be 5hp down off boost but not really noticable
cam timing maybe ?

 

[Leonh]

Is there an easy way to check the cam timing without pulling the engine ?‍

 

[frank]

yes check the lobes at tdc https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/bag-of-spanners.68048/#post-753176

 

[Leonh]

Okay that grate! If not then tdc the crank, pop the side cover off loser the tensioner adjust cams re do everything back up ?

 

[Leonh]

Also frank I have removed the carbon canister just by yanking it out ?‍ Will that make a difference should I chuck it back in?

 

[frank]

that would only affect the idle

 

[richardwbb]

I wonder, did the problem occur straight away or developed?

 

[Leonh]

Straight away mate

All sorted guys frank was right the inlet could eat 1/8 of a turn out car is amazing off boost and insain on boost!
