hey.

i just replaced my dif and the car was off the road for about a week.

in that time the car has developed a problem.

when the revs hit 1500-2000rpm the caar starts back firing and f@rt and loosing power?

i have changed the ecu, tried unplugging the o2 sensor but the problem is still there.

sometimes it goes alright for a bit but then the problem comes in and the car is undrivable.

does anyone have any ideas or suggestion?

cheers.

something to do with ignition. spark plug, leads dizzy, etc. the fuel isn't being ignited and thus the loss of power, then its sitting there and gets set off by hot exhaust from a firing cylinder (the backfire) check those things. you should change the 02 sensor not unplug it (very bad) if anything. but make sure youve got good spark to cylinders first
