245 won't rev... 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be ChickwithaBrick on  Fri Dec 17 10:47 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Car is an 85 245Ti. Just bought it three days ago. We drove it 3.5hours home when the tire blew 5km out of town. It was the front spring. Had broken and worn through the tire (great omen of things to come). Got the car towed home. Was running like a champ. My boyfriend changed the front spring on it we got it ready to go for its first test drive, and it won't start!! Finally it starts but it runs really poorly. It won't rev at all. We find that the boot on the air flow plate is off, so we put it back on, now the car fires right up... But won't rev still! So we swap out the fuel pumps for known good ones. Still nothing. Now it will rev at idle, but it will barely move, and infact won't even go over the curb to get into the driveway. Next, is the turbo (which was brand new in 98) is loud now. It wasn't on the drive down. We can hear the turbo spool down at idle. Its quite audible.

So what would you think the problem is? We have two ideas... One the cat is plugged. Two the turbo is blown. Which is causing extreme back pressure.

Ideas? My boyfriend leaves today for 2 weeks, and I'll be car less because of this...
