250,000 km Stutters when over half throttle, turbo gauge goes into red. been like that for over 2 years been driving it like that just under the point. Cars had regular maintenance, no big repairs in its life. Yesterday check engine light came on, car was running but at full throttle it would climb in speed slowly even at higher rpm. Pulled over and shut it off for 15 mins, same problem but today bo check engine light and it’s driving like normal with stutter past 50% throttle. Before I buy a code reader wondering if any of you could give me an ideas, I am mechanically challenge forgive me if it seems simple.
Thinking possibly that while running it with malfunctioning boost control the stuttering was from ECU pulling back timing and fuel until it would stop detonating. No idea what the intermittent yesterday would be, possibly put into fail safe or something. You’ll have to pull codes and ideally I’d put a real scanner on it with data stream. It’s not good running it with malfunctioning boost control if that’s what’s going on- good way to hole a piston or melt a valve.
