faulty swas? Strange
im going with faulty connector/pin...
give it a clean with contact cleaner.. refit..
i think that should sort it.. have a close look and make sure a pin has not been pushed back in the connector as well..
im not sold that the SWAS is stuffed..
its too much of a coincidence that you have had the plug off and on..
I hope your son packs light... cause I have a lot of gear he needs to carry..
Very strange, SWAS has been reconnected for maybe a year.
He's not very strong and has wirey little arms. To little sunlight and too much msn/myspace etc
Dont think the natives will be satisfied, have to be desperate m****r f****rs
Lol after some of the twig like dogs I've seen been knocked on the head.. I'm sure they be happy to trade up...
It's a strange defect.. Could be a worn/flat spot on a pin..
Report further.. No damaged wire close to the connector?
Start feeding him lots of herbs and spices.. I'm sure they will like that. Ha!
Just food for thought.
Once the SWAS was reconnected did you do a full lock left and right with the steering wheel before driving? This resets the limitations of the SWAS and therefore won't run like a dog after 1st reconnection of the plug...
If you were belting it up springbrook, you would actually be working the wheel alot more than day to day driving. which is why you may have felt it then rather than sooner.
You stay out of this VW boy
Nah mate, wasnt like the swas cutting in as per the norm. It continued to do it in daily driving also. We are talking 5 degree turn of wheel and stuttering even with mid throttle.
This occured out of the blue, swas had not been touched in maybe a year.
Wierd shit. Havent reconnected as of yet.
contact cleaner... refit
let us know mate
F**k.
all of above done and still a dog. Can't even accelerate in 1st in a straight line without bucking and spluttering.
Anyone k ow where the actual sensor is? Maybe dislodged?
Yeah but usually remove some mods before presenting to them, pita
Have you been able to rule out bad fuel, or even maybe look into the fuel filter, usually when you run out of fuel the sludge in the bottom of the tank ends up clogging the filter up ?, another thing to consider could be a faulty plug, or coil pack, I had an issue with the loom on my car, which would cause sporadic missing, rough running and popping much like you are describing , I found I could wiggle the wires on the lhs coil pack plug and at certain points the car would stumble, move the wires again and it would purr like a kitten. I have also heard of some coil packs failing as well.
Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man's character - give him power.

car drives fine when SWAS sensor disconnected.. is that the case Magoo?

I have me a hunch its in the tank..
As in connected/bolted to/ the fantastic plastic fuel tank
But im not 100% sure
ive had it happen intermittently and it turned out that my traction control was kicking in far to soon. so turned off the dsc and no problems since. But i never had back firing or sputtering just massive loss of power.
Mine still continues. I think Im still under warranty so its off with the mods and into mazda. Car also feels sluggish all over, wish someone on the Goldcoast had a Dashhawk for me to borrow and look at boost etc
Hey Magoo, I'm back on the coast as of Monday night (Southport). Happy to meet up and plug my Dashhawk in and run some logs. It's set up with all the Mazda speciific PID's so you can grab whatever info you need, my datalogging setup is as per the Cobb stuff on MSF. Drop me a PM.
