So i really want to buy this hatch but it has a sputtering problem
b16 a2 used to be turboed ( took off due to thieves?) has aem fuel rail, and a bunch of bolt ons.

When it gets around 3-4k it sputters so you have to go into next gear. in neautral it revs up to like 3-4 wont go higher due to sputtering and you see black smoke (running rich)

he said it was because of his chipped p30 ecu that he was running on his turbo, i offered to bring mine and the next day he said he tried a diff ecu and its the same and that it is the MAP sensor..



What you guys think? Only asking cause its a pretty good deal =)

Any CEL codes? Does the CEL work?

How old are the plugs, wires, cap and rotor? Is the ignition timing set to spec?

Scan for codes even if the light isn't on there could be a dormant code the owner could have cleared. Then well go from there :D
