Default VW Corrado Cant fix...Plz Help - 03-12-2007 , 01:30 AM





I have a VW Corrado G60 and I am having problems...it stalls, loss of
power, Black Smoke coming from exhaust. I replaced Cat. Converter, O2
Sensor, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Distributor Cap, rotor, checked fuel
injectors, and even replaced the ECU. Its still the same I dont know
what to do if anyone can give any advice thanks.

A faulty coolant-temperature sensor perhaps...

Are any codes being set? A sticky ' MAF ' could cause running rich.

Sure does sound like the car is in "limp-home" mode with a faulty air-
mass meter. The MAF sensor is incorporated into this unit. If the
platinum wire fails, the symptoms you describe happen. Or
disconnected, or corroded. The first is expensive, the latter two are
easy-fixes.

Did you check the blue sensor? Do a compression test, check timing belt,
check vacuum line to ecu. Could be that this vac. line is not connected to
the right vac. port.

check vacuum lines, particularly the one on the fuel pressure regulator.
This is a long shot, but also check the crank gear for the timing belt.
They are known to shear the Woodruff key.

Well I fixed the Black Smoke problem, but it still stalls and loss of
power.
