Default possibly clutch or something else??

i just bought this car and took it out last weekend and tried to do a burnout... well i burnt out the clutch pretty bad. Later that night, i was driving i got on it a bit, and at about 4000 rpms it was stuttering like not gettting fuel. The car would shutter pretty hard. Could this be the clutch slipping and then regrabbing?, as in im getting into the power band, it does this in 2nd and 3rd gear. i havent tried 1,4,5,6. I got on it in 1st a bit but notice a huge loss in power. The SES light is not on, and idle is just fine.

it seems to only shutter under WOT also

BTW Car is a 02 Ws6 M6


thx Ken

Put parking brake on,put in 4th,push brake pedal,and let clutch out slowly - does engine die or rpms go up but car doesn't move?

Sounds like something wrong in the ignition. Pull the plugs and wires. Check them out. I had the same issues with my car when the plug gap was wrong. A cracked spark plug will also cause that.

When I did my headers, cracked a plug and it would run fine under normal conditions. But once you brought it up to higher rpms it would stall and start to studder.

I tried what loving ls1 asked me, it stalled out, but did slip some first. So i figured that cannot be the problem. I called my buddy and put it on a good snap on diagnostic tool and these codes popped up...

P0101 Mass Air out of range
P0102 Mass circuit signal low
P0141 02 Heater Bank 1 Sensor 2

would this be the cause?????


EDIT: I checked fuses, and i found a blown air pump fuse, would this have something to do with it?

i put new plugs and wires in today just in case, the plugs came out all looking great. Car still has a serious loss of power and stumbling at high RPM's. I also took the cat's off and the passenger side was previously gutted so i gutted the driver side also. Car still acting like crap, i ran a scan and now im only coming up with the air pump codes. Which the fuse is pulled from because it blows the fuse anyhow. Reminder it still stumbles bad afterwards and im betting i have a loss of horsepower in about the 50- 100 hp range. Full mileage is terrible also. I will check the codes again tomorrow and see if p0102 will reshow.

I do have a slight collector exhaust leak.

Input on what to look into would be great


thx Ken

Both P0101 & P0102 are MAF errors. You need that puppy working correctly.
If it is blowing fuses, find where the short is located and repair it.
Sounds basic, and it is. Sounds easy, and it is usually not.

The only fuse that was blown was the Air pump. and i blows them consistently so i just gave up on that since its junk anyhow.

P101 and P102 have not came back as of yet.

Power loss is highly evident.

Plugs and wires changed last night.

Only DTC codes are for the Air pump

I pulled the cats and did a visual on the o2's

Need some guidance what to look into now.
