car will die soon????

[Alex-evita]

we think car will die soon,(60 km/h-4gear-rpm 2500->>.foot full down 4000rpm -car mooving very slow after few sec geting better,but didnt fill vvti kick any more (after around 4500 it should be)
first my think was its a clutch???foot down car not acceleraiting properly-but now i think its a different problem???
sorry about my english,i dont know how explain properly

[moomoo]

it should be something simple, maybe the MAF is gone or a coilpack or something.

probably the MAF. Is there any altezzas where you live that you could swap sensors with?

[patk]

dont drive it if theres something wrong. thats how serious damage is done. may not be as bad as you think. does it not go past 4000rpm at all?

[Dek]

Had a similar but maybe not as severe problem. All it was was my MAF Sensor..
But if ur realy worried bring it to a mechanic so u can put ur mind at rest

[Alex-evita]

i have cleaned MAF sensor,reset ecu, abauot 2 weeks ago,car fine but in some moments fills like clutch sliping, but make a test drive few min ago.1st 2nd 3rd gear -stayng no more what 4000 rpm,but after few moments going good ok and geting speed up,when geting below 4000rpm trying acceraiting- same sh... 4000 rpm and no more (neutral shift-engine working perfect)

Does the altezza go into a safe mode if it detects a problem ????

what is SAFE MODE??????

[Robin H]

most modern cars come with a safe/limp mode which will stop any major damage being done, it will effectively just let the engine run but will stop you getting the performance out of the car
(this has been talked about in the last few months, try searching "safe mode")

even if you have cleaned the MAF sensor it could still be faulty so it could be the problem or part of the problem

did you say that the engine will rev freely above 4000rpm when the car is not in gear

is the car manual or auto

Coil packs, Im pretty sure it does go in safe mode, I may be wrong. I know in my Cally if the sensors go it gos into safe mode and wont go over 4000.

Any chance you could take a video & put it on youtube for us?

Really sounds like it'll be clutch or drivetrain related if its revving okay in neutral. Take it to good mechanic & get it looked at.

I'm with E910, I think it's the clutch or something in that direction too... take it in and let a mechanic have a look at it..

[Alex-evita]

i will do some video this morning-i think its a clutch,but very strange what car with bad clutch wont go above 4000 rpm,
(very hard to get proper mechanic),have odrered clutch already!
I'll do everything as possible,to fix car my self-if not,will go to garage

[mlcoolj]

ok, keep us posted

[Robin H]

yeah keep us posted sounds like a drive train issue but not sure of what
