I still don't understand what's with secret identity of this engine.

I apologize for not being helpful......

OK, how hot is the engine running .. ?? (temperature reading)

Are the cooling fans operational .. ??

Is the thermostat opening all the way..??

Is the engine running the correct coolant mixture .. ??

As far as the engine sputtering, maybe the HPFP needs to be replaced .. ??

The tune could be way off .. ??

What kind of turbocharger .. ?? How much boost when it cuts out .. ??

Come back ......

in hindsight, yeah, maybe it wasnt a good idea writing that i drove a bike and went to hogwarts, but it was for the sake of just filling out the required fields when making this account. my friend wants to stay anonymous because people in real life are already giving him shit for his problem and aren't wanting to help him. i just believed that my serious question wouldn't be downplayed because of what i drive or where i live.

and i'll ask these questions to my friend and I'll get back to you on this, thank you humfrz

I would've expected seriousness coming from you Tcoat or Humfrz, I actually have another active account on these forums and I really respect your guy's comments and opinions on different topics over the years, but obviously these forums turned into any other CoD4 forums with 12 years old making useless comments and snarking on other people's capabilities. and I only made this account to protect my friend's identity because yes, although it may be sad that he couldn't diagnose it himself, he does feel embarrassed and wants help and this is why I turned to the forums for help. you two really let me down, a lot.

Why won't you or your friend call up Crawford? Not to downplay anyone's knowledge here as there are extremely technical people with tons of experience but I'd venture to say they may be of more help.

Btw, I'm pretty sure making a 2nd account on here is against terms of use.

"I have another account"

Describes problem with no real technical information

Is not the owner, convenient excuse to drop the topic / provide no details.

Drops brand names to associate with the mystery problem, accompanied by limited or useless information

Read: false flag. Competing vendor. Fear / misinformation.

Wow. Mods please delete this thread.

If it's a legitimate issue, repost with some real information, but I doubt it.

The thread started as trolling and thus was responded to as such.
A proper question with some real info would have been answered in a real manner. If you were honest and up front then we are more than happy to help. If you truly do have another account and had high hopes for us then you should also be well aware of how we respond to seeming trolls. And dude the original post reads so far into troll standards it could be held up as the teaching example. Hell, you even threw in "oh and his FRS is turbo'd" almost as an afterthought.
Try again under your real name (having more then one account is against the rules by the way) with a better thought out post and more details and I bet you get much better responses. How would using your real account give away your "friend's" identity anyway?
So in summary you want to be treated as a responsible adult act like one. You want to be treated as if this was a COD4 forum then post more like this thread. You reap what you sow dude.
