Won't rev

[Garfy]

So, when parked in neutral, push accelerator down, goes up to around 6K revs, drops down to 4K and get black smoke from the exhaust as if it's over fueling.

Compression test was good

This is a very "out there" one but there's nothing fouling your throttle pedal/cable is there? My floor mat once found it's way over the pedal and wouldn't let me give it full beans.

If only 😁
No, it's engine related, it revs or tries to initially, then drops down to 3k it's fueling as if you got the pedal down (hence black smoke, petrol smell and black sparkplugs (2 months old)) with an obd reader connected it shows misfires across the cylinders because they're getting too much petrol (I believe). 🤔

So, we've swapped MAF, coil packs, spark plugs, made no difference    Checked the fuel filter currently checking vvti solenoid and cleaning which works ok. 😤🤔 Mechanic is a little stumped

Got a spare engine you can swap in...

[Garfy]

Thanks John I'm only on 70k with this one, can't give up on it yet 😥 think when it does go it will be time for a 2zz 🙃

Sounds like a sensor issue.  I can send you a crank sensor and a cam sensor... Known working ones.

Let me know how to pay you for them x x

Seeing the problem solved will be ample payment.

My favorite CPS issue was a Tach Reading with the Key on, and the engine not running..  Ended up Strapping a 2K resistor across the Input to the ECU leads, and the problem went away..  Car ran better too!

What is the coolant temp sensor reading on the scanner? Fuel trims? Possible vac leak..

On the way.

Thanks Cap, but I have no idea what you wrote, sorry.
Could you be saying my ECU has turned into Hal and needs some electric shock treatment?

I can get them checked, could you advise what they should be?
I have a friendly mechanic who does most my work for me, unfortunately this is his first 2 to work on.
Thanks for the input, I've already passed it on 😁

On the way.

Very generous donation received. Thank you both! That's hosting for a couple months.

Hmmmm, after all that  

Tubing from air intake to cone filter was  kinked, hence no air getting to engine.

I've got to ask, how did you end up getting some 75mm tubing that badly kinked???🤓

10/10 for fessing up.
You must be feeling very mixed emotions!

Needs to be on here in case anyone else has a similar issue 😥
 @Call the midlife! It was that tinny tubular stuff you take from the vent and goes to an enclosed air filter 🤯😤🤮😖

Right, got you, I've got two lengths of that running from my side scoops into areas of the engine bay so know how easy it is to crush. But they're not connected to anything, just ran it in before I bonded the side scoops on, the mushroom filter is hard piped with silicone sleeves.

Fair play to you for fessing up, you can have my trophy from last year.👍🏻
