Hi all, happy Friday!

I have a 207 GT and had the code p1339 come up. Changed all spark plugs and coils and cleared the EML. It's stayed off but when accelerating and high revs the car is spluttering. As if the turbo is coming in and out. I do have a cone filter and sometimes it hisses before I let my foot of the acceleration.

When warmed up and accelerating above 3500rpm something under the good is making a metal rattle noise like pinging around? And it loses power and on and off with the power. Could this be timing chain issue?

On a cold start up the air filter is sucking in air from the start, is this (normal)??

There is still a slight misfire I think as when I accelerate and let my foot of the gas my exhaust pops once. A lot of smoke coming out exhaust too

Bit worried to drive it as don't want to do any damage?
EP6DT engine if it helps

Kind regards,
Grant

Not sure why you changed spark plugs but hey ho.

These engines are renowned for carbon build up in the inlet necessitating a walnut blast decoke.

The noise (metal pinging) could well be the engine pinking (aka pre-ignition), try a lower gear and see if it is less, it is possible to be timing chain associated, but unlikely, get one thing at a time sorted out & then move on to the next as the walnut decoke will likely help this noise also.

The engine is always sucking air through the filter when it is running, without the air it can't run.
