Hi All,
Had my 2nd Gen RX serviced on Wednesday and it's now developed a flat spot when accelerating between 1800 and 2500 rpm. When I give it a real boot the EJ25D gets up and boogies no matter what revs it's doing but when using partial throttle it "lags" terribly. Best way to describe it is like driving an older carby car with a kettering ignition system and the vacuum advance is disconnected.
I chatted to the mechanic who serviced it and he said it sounds like the MAF is having issues. I've already checked for cracks in the connecting tube from the MAF to the plenum, there are none, all the clamps are tight and the wiring clips on neatly to the MAF so I'm running out of ideas on that front. I intend to pull the MAF over the weekend and spray clean it.
I also put injector cleaner in the fuel just in case it's an injector/fuel issue. Unfortunately I also did refuel it the same night it was serviced so I do wonder if I got an off batch of juice but I reckon that would cause problems no matter what the revs or throttle position.
Don't really know what's causing the issue with my Soobee but some useful hints and tips would be appreciated.
Ta muchly.
