08 MPS boost cut? UPDATED
hey all,
recently my fiances 08 MPS3 has been feeling abit sluggish. also couple of nights ago when we went for a drive into the city, we had 3 people on board and i planted the foot down in 2nd gear and it reached about 5k rpm and all of a sudden had a big 'jolt' - feels what i believe to be a boost cut (going from experience from my previous cars ive had)...
to confirm this i thought i'd load it up in 3rd gear, and it did the same thing but at a lower rpm (4k rpm)... has anyone had this problem before and anyone know whats wrong - or have an idea? there are no engine lights, temp gauge is looking normal, and in fact the car drives like normal and behaves well off boost.
i will be ringing the dealer on monday and will book it in asap to get it looked at and probably do its 30,000km service on it at the same time...
its currently got 27,000kms on it, last service was done at 20,000kms however this wasnt done at a mazda dealer - not sure if this is a problem as like some manufacturers for cars and bikes now they have to reset something in the ecu (like a service interval light) though i havent heard of anything for the MPS3 as such?
and for your information the car is completely stock, no mods whatsoever... its a 08 MPS Sports model
any help or feedback would be great and much appreciated
