Lotus Elise stumbling engine

Lotus Elise stumbling engine

video of my 2005 Lotus engine cutting out under load and mild acceleration. It’s now at the shop for replacement of the engine harness. Hope it fixes the pro…

that wouldv’e been my guess

cvaxle says:

hey, question. I have a 1995 acura integra ls, and its misfiring only after
the engine has warmed up and i give her over 1/4 throttle. she idles
fine.Ive allready changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor
cap, rotor, coil, and fuel filter. any ideas on what could be causing a
misfire?

Luke West Side says:

that problem?

viktord1 says:

@lovesthebass No way man! Compared to cars like BMW, audi, etc toyota parts
are waaaaaaay cheaper. Even honda parts are considerably more expensive.
(from my experience anyway) cheers

Matthew Porch says:

you have it bad, i’ve got it to a certain degree on my camry lol, mine is
just due to the spark leads as 1 of the seals have begun leaking gettin oil
in the leads

joshcop69 says:

I would’ve guessed water in the fuel, OR, more importantly, a little-known
option: the No Revs Over 6 Grand If The Moron Driver Is Holding A Camera
feature. A no-cost option, considering that if you take the vehicle to an
authorized service facility, they will have a factory-trained technician
drive the car, and duplicate the problem, if it’s as OBVIOUS as the
stumbling shown here.

get rid of that toyota motor and put in a k20a

Michael Barr says:

It was the “harness.” They had to replace the ENTIRE electrical “harness”
under warranty, fortunately.

Graham Shaw says:

yeah we had a similar thing happen a fews months ago at my lotus dealership

SavageSalad says:

sounds like your low on gas

dan2e2 says:

Guessed you’ve checked the obvious? Spark Plugs/Leads Coil Pack Throttle
Cable

lovesthebass says:

@viktord1 Actually Toyota parts are some of the most costly. I guess it’s
because they are probably the most reliable car parts.

evand1581 says:

it is your cam position and knock sensor had same problem with my car where
in each gear let you reach only to a certain rpm and it wont let you go any
further no matter how much throttle

Gr0m3t says:

ehhhh… throttle position sensor? or cams/crank sensor? maybe the maf
sensor but it looks to me like the TPS is reading wrong through the rev so
it has no idea where the throttle is

viktord1 says:

it’s a toyota engine. it shouldn’t cost an arm to fix

danap1981 says:

not seen one do that before.

David Prince says:

looks like the car was not up to operating temp and you are hitting the
5800 rmp throttle cutout.

ivanlaz says:

it’s only because the temp is lesse than 85°

4G63PWR says:

My brother has the same problem. Check my videos to see. Has it happend to
you before? It feels like the throttle is open and closed really fast
causing a jerk.

Michael Barr says:

Nope. It was at normal operating temp. Go back further in the comments. It
was the wire harness. Had to be replaced under warranty.

konansk says:

why is it doing that??? :S

pludder says:

Sounds/seems like a faulty TPS.

akkudakkupl says:

Seems some sensor wiring went AWOL. Knock sensor for example…
