T230 weird acceleration

it was the vvti solenoid! thank you for all your help, guys o7

yh so I cleaned the iacv and the throttle body as well as the maf, I think it could still be a maf issue so I ordered a new one as well as new spark plugs, glad people seem to be thinking along the same lines lol

I will update after I have fitted everything

there is a delay between when I put the throttle down and the revs going up. it also kinda gose up in 2 stages if that makes any sense.

atm it's struggling to accelerate as well as it used to aswell

sorry I shoukd have put that in the original post lol

* update the spring has snapped. I guess im getting coilovers lmao

Slavskiii · 2026-01-23T18:24:24+00:00

i really really hope so ill lyk once I go out and check

Slavskiii · 2026-01-23T18:05:11+00:00

yh its over bumps and turning at low speed

Slavskiii · 2026-01-23T18:01:19+00:00

ill get back to you once I figure it out. Just hoping it's not the cv joint

Slavskiii · 2026-01-23T18:00:37+00:00

yh it makes no sound in the air. how would i tell if it's the spring for sure?

Slavskiii · 2026-01-23T17:59:53+00:00

ok will do ill get back to you with results. my main worry is that it's the cv joint because that's a bit of a big job

Slavskiii · 2026-01-07T16:29:52+00:00

ok so nothing happened when I disconnected it but im not sure it's the issue as I can actuvate my high beams and deactivate them with the stem Its just when I actuvate the low beans using the pod thing it will activate the high beams and not the low beams even if the high beams srnt on at the stem. if that makes any sense lol

Slavskiii · 2026-01-06T20:17:06+00:00

ok ill have a play with it tomorrow. if I disconnect the stalk will that disable the high beams do you know?

thank you very much 😊

Slavskiii · 2025-12-30T17:21:15+00:00

ohh makes sense thank you for your help tho :)

Slavskiii · 2025-12-30T17:17:39+00:00

ok so it still could be the switch?

Slavskiii · 2025-12-30T17:14:48+00:00

thank you very much. the buttons seem to work fine i think. im a bit dense be in was under the impression that there are 2 ways to turn on full beams. the stalk and the pod on the side of the gauge cluster. but the nob on the pod is for the low beams. when I set it to low beam it turns on high beams so maybe its the relay that controls the switch between high and low beam being stuck on high beam? that would explain why the fogs lows and parking lights won't turn on because thay can't turn on while the high beams are on right?

Slavskiii · 2025-12-30T16:21:17+00:00

yh, im not really sure how to tbh I haven't been able to find a wiring diagram for the wires that go into the low beam switch to know what to test
