RE: problem with S2 92





Not sure why water would be selective when it causes a problem.  It is more 
likely boost related.  What is your boost doing during this episode?  Could be 
a blown wastegate diaphram which would cause the computer to shut off the fuel 
pump.  It sounds like something is telling the computer to shut off the fuel 
pump.  Can you check codes?

Perhaps you have water in your gas.  This is a common condition in the
north of the US in the winter, particularly if the car is not driven for a
few days and it was left with 1/2 a tank of gas.  The temperature changes
cause condensation in the tank, resulting in water in the gas.  You can
get additive which will remove it.... and you'll probably have to replace
the fuel filter again after that.

Otherwise, perhaps you fuel  injectors are dirty.  The best bet there is
to take them out and get them cleaned. I've had other cars with this
problem.

Hope this helps.

Chris.
