Peugeot 406 2.0. The car loses power. Diagnostic shows fuel. I've changed the pump, injectors. When I spray in throttle body then the car doesn't cut out or lose power only when it's dry again.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. 'lose' and 'loose' are two different words and your space bar appears to be broken. :>D

So it seems the car is running on the fumes of the throttle body cleaner, yes? Did you disconnect the battery when you changed the fuel pump? Did you reset the ant-theft and immobilizer?

If the throttle body is the issue, remove it and clean it properly both sides so it opens and closes easily..

When I'm driving my 03 20th anniversary gti as soon as the turbo starts I hear it breathing way to much air then I lose all power and the epc light is on help me please

your issue is a boost leak check all the boost pipes making sure the pipes are on properly and the clamps are fastened and seated and position correctly.start with the pipe from the airbox to the turbo. Then the pipes from the turbo to intercooler from intercooler to intake throttle body.

88 conquest tsi cuts out when building boost, it was running perfectly fine today, but now the car cuts out when the turbo starts to build boost, and as soon as the boost gauge reaches 0, it cuts out

you may be having problems with the turbine or it could have a heavy short in the system. check the tuning on the turbo it may be starting the boost to soon or to late causing problems also check your intake setup this includes your pcv valve

I get stuck in third gear almost every time I take the car out. It has gotten to a point now where the other day, when it was raining, my car jolted, the steering wheel sort of locked and so did the wheels...

I've just copied this from wikipedia:-

A traction control system (TCS), also known as Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), is typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system on production vehicles, and is designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and therefore maintain the control of the vehicle when excessive throttle is applied by the driver and the condition of the road surface (due to varying factors) is unable to cope with the torque applied.
The intervention can consist of one or more of the following:
  • ****** or suppress the spark to one or more cylinders
  • Reduce fuel supply to one or more cylinders
  • Brake one or more wheels
  • Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted with drive by wire throttle
  • In turbo-charged vehicles, the boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine power.
Typically, the traction control system shares the electro-hydraulic brake actuator (but does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo), and the wheel speed sensors with the anti-lock braking system.

I'd suggest

1) Have a look at the Hyudai website, see if there's a forum or discussion group where the same problem has been encountered / resolved.

2) Getting it plugged into proper the diagnostic equipment.

Engine light on, heavy smoke and engine burning smell (Audi 1.8T)

First off, how the Hell did they issue a DOT Cetificate, if the Emissions are known to be off the clock. Without causing stress, do you have, or can obtain the Emission Test Result Print Out from the Testing Station test Equipment. This is something they cannot refuse. DO NOT AUTHORISE ANY REPAIRS Come back TO ME with your story.
