[s-cars] Sport Quattro Engine cut off at 4000 rpm

[Frederic L'Huillier]

Well, we have spent until 2:00 AM this morning to check and double check all
the sensors, connections. And the damned engine does not go higher tha
4500/4800 rpm. I feel like working on a Jaguar !!!! (Oooopsss, I did it
again !!!). The engine before being removed from the car was running super
well. We have two more days to find the reason before the LeMansClassic
event. BTW the SportQuattro doesn't have any connections for the 1551. Make
it a lot harder for the diagnosis.
I am sure our man from Norway, Joern, is delighted to read this update !!!!

Regards,
Frederic

Frederic,

I know on the regular Urquattros, any time a sensor critical to engine
livelihood has grossly out-of-spec readings, the fuel pump cutoff will be
activated at 4k rpm.  I suggest you post this to the Urq list for a better
response.  I will, however, copy this to the Urq list in the meantime.  For
those that don't know, Frederic is in France and drives a car many here are
jealous of:  V8 S6 Plus!

Wishing your friend the best of luck.
