try unpluging your computer for about 20 secs and plug it back in again and
see if that helps

Subject: FJ T03 'stuck'?!

Howdy List,
Well I went to get the 'disability in the garage' (as my wife calls it now)
out for an emergency unreg'd drive to work since she temporarily lost the
keys to the parts car...
Anyways, my stuck turbo syndrome strikes again, only this time it didn't
unstick itself - stuffed bearings or all carboned up are my guess.
Symptoms are engine starts and runs fine... up to ~1,800 rpm then just hits
a brick wall if driving or surges on idle with light accel. If I kick it in
the guts enough it will rev to 3-4k with the telltale turbo whine (hey its
spinning!) but will idle down and won't go over 1800 again without boot
fulls from right foot.
What happened last time was the whine came back and stayed and all was well
- and it struck me at that precise moment "oh the turbo wasn't spinning,
impeding gas flow and so no go - tho' when it refused to drive above 1800
it does just go pretty dead with nothing, almost like ECU is cutting for
not getting right MAP reading or something? So I need to remove turbo and
inspect, fiddle see how free it is (not very!) and for from there...what
are the gaskets required when I take it off, can I buy, make or customise
something or do I get something for Stuart Wilkins Rally etc.
Having a turbo recently that lost it timing (due to worn keyway on the end
of the crank) displaying some of the above could it be some major mishap
with dissy or computer? The lack of turbo whine is bit of a give away, but
I'm not to sure how noisy it was under 2,5-3,000 rpm which when I usually
hear it - and as above it will eventually spin with revs.
TIA for any pointers,
PS any good t3 or Fj suitable turbos 4sale?
Mark
