Dman 5 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Well my 156 has decided to die tonight on the way home ,hope someone can help with ideas what may be up..... It started ok but when driving home it seem to stutter,then loose all power and stall,then when restarted it appears to sound very lumpy (not very technical i know)..then it clears for a bit then stalls again....seems very different symptoms at once?? The car is a Q-system and looses drive etc when it stalls...it has been raining hard here if that may be something.... Any help with what i should check etc would be most greatful....

smiffy 99 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Could it have sucked up any water and fooked the maf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Could try unplugging it to see if it sorts the problems? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dman 5 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Would the MAF make the car loose drive?? forgot to mention that the engine management light/gearbox warning light/battery light all come on off when its playing up.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiffy 99 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 The maf would make the car run a bit lumpy and would of thought it might make it stall if sending the wrong info to the ECU, also it brings the msc light on if disconnected so if its totally fooked I assume it would come up the same.

K9d 108 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 I had a Laguna that went completely mental when the battery went, it talked to you to tell you what problems you had the bloody thing didn't shut up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First off, have fault codes read, then depending on the codes which show we can move on to other diagnosis. My money is on a clogged air filter if you've been through the puddles, but that's a guess. Really need to check those codes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dman 5 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 Well had the codes read and are as follows 1691 0100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 Boost control valve and MAF, I'd first ensure all the vacumm lines are sound and that the boost hoses are secure and not split. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I will check them tomorrow,me being a bit thick....why do you think the car works fine from time to time then plays up?? if a hose was split would it not be a problem all the time?? Also what is the boost control valve Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dman 5 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 checked hoses etc,could not see any split etc....fitted new Bosch MAF aswell to eliminate this....but problem still happens,is there anything that the Q-system gearbox sensor wise which could be causing this??
