ian-d-1985 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I took off my standard air filter the other night to fit a pipercross, it didnt fit but i left the standard air filter off. this morning when i was booting it in 1st gear, it suddenly lost power at about 4-5k revs, so i put it in 2nd and 3rd and the car hardly moved! a few mins later it was running fine, could this just have been the air flow sensor or could it be something bigger? also there is a rasping noise coming from the front of the car when i accelerate, it seems to have got louder since the incident above, what could this be? exhaust?thanks for any advice in advance Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Booting any car in 1st gear is asking for trouble mate.1. How long had the car been running?2. Were you running it with no filter at all?3. When trying to fit the new filter, did you unplug the MAF? Link to post Share on other sites
