re. New (to me) 200q20v not running anymore :((((

Mihnea,

I had this happen to me,  full load pulling trailer up mountain when lame
brain cut right in front. Foot off  - throttle snap shut - pook sound.
 Back on the gas again, accelerating to pass, It'd only hit 1 Bar and
wasn't making power, but the car was still running.  Ran diags. while
coasting via switch I have mounted.  4444.  It was the Michelin Man hose,
and I fixed with duct tape getting me home and then some before I replaced
with a new one - this time with a metal sleeve around the hose so it could
still flex, but not blow out.

So,  I'm sure your primary culprit is a massive leak post turbo but before
the throttle body - I know the dual pass setup is different, so don't want
to speculate exactly which hose.

Now the 2113 code I got the other day while trying to start my reassembled
engine.  Hall sensor was out of it's window ever so slightly.  There is not
much room to play with on the adjustment, maybe 10-20 degrees. My diagnosis
was compounded with a weak battery, but I finally got this all sorted out.
  Is your distributor locked down?

Maybe some oil that you mentioned is in the distributor is messing up the
sensor.

I'd say the other codes are more symptomatic and will go away when the air
leak and possible distributor problem is fixed.

[..200q20v that I have bought yesterday doesn't run anymore...
I was climbing a slight uphill on full pressure (well, about 1.7 Bar on the
digital display) in second gear, and when I shifted in 3rd at about 7000
RPM I heard something like a "whoosh" or popping kind of sound and the
nada! 1.0 Bar on the display, won't start again, nothing, it's dead. A few
minutes later I've pulled the codes and got the following:

2342 O2 sensor ...air leak at the MAF, Ignition system component failure,
etc...
2341 O2 control limit exceeded, intake or exhaust leak, efective ignition
component, intake air leak after the MAF, etc...
2113 Hall sensor
2111 RPM sensor (normal because the engine didn't start, IMHO)
2121 Idle switch (IMHO it seemed to be okay as it DID do the clicks when
opening and closing the throttle body)

Any ideas anyone? I think I've busted a pressure hose as would seem to
confirm code 2341 but what does the Hall sensor have to do with all this? I
hope it's not toast....in case it is toast, can I use a NA 5 cylinder Hall
Sensor in the 3B's distributor? What does oil inside the dizzy mean? Bad
seal?
