Turbo cuts off

<< < (3/3)

Yes just had a water pump timing belt and tune up. I complained to them that it was not cutting in the turbo they checked all that and said it was working right. I hit a big bump one day and it worked great after that. Then one day I was riding around and turn on the A/C and that's when my problem started. Since then no matter how hard I step un the gas peddle it just creeps up and then bogs down

Someone said my wastegate could be stuck open. Would that be my problem. The 91 shop manual sure doesn't help me.

blueamber:
Get the timing checked.  Search 'short nosed crank' for this issue with this engine.

SHOwn:
I didn’t think of that, but it is a high probability. Timing retarded acts just like that. Could be a sloppy distributor as well.
Although, that bit about hitting bumps and A/C really point to bad electrical connections. Check all grounds, clean them all up, report back after that. There are a number of grounds that affect the engine, do a search on teamcapri to find all you can. Like modern healthcare, with a Capri, you are your own best advocate- you must research this stuff yourself. There just aren’t any shops that would know about that car anymore.

Thanks all to the reply's
