[Tgworkman]

Now everytime my turbo starts to spool my car starts jerking real bad any advise what it could be? I just changed spark plugs the other day could it be a fouled spark plug?

What did you gap the plugs at?

044

That's waaaay too big of a gap!!!!

The MSP should have the plugs gapped at .028-.031"! That's your problem. Correct the gap and your fuel-cut will be gone.

Thanks man ill try that dam advanced auto told me to gap it at that but I drove it all day yesterday with no problem?i

They only have the specifications for the N/A FS, not the F/I FS. And that's wrong anyway. I think the N/A FS is .042". You should return them and get another set, then set the gap at .028". I dealt with the same problem for a bit. It was driving me insane. I'm an ASE certified tech and Service Manager and all my information (AllData, Chiltons, MOTOR) said .042", but that was wrongly listed. I would be fine for a few days, then I'd get fuel-cut. Finally, after EVERYTHING, I was informed (on here) what the gap was actually supposed to be. After correcting that, it was fine.

What color is your MSP? There's another new member with a laser blue one that lives here. You should come to UTDM sometime.

Ok ive tried re gapping my spark plugs but still wants to buck once my turbo starts to spool and now my check engine light is on reading maf which I put a front mount intercooler on about a week ago and relocated the maf above the blow off valve is that correct? Any advise

 

[mikewashere]

are you running a blow off valve or a by pass valve? you did relocate the maf closer to the throttle body or do you plan to? if your running a bov and your maf is located in its factory place you may want to try mounting it closer to the tb for a better reading

 

[Tgworkman]

I've already relocated it I'm running a hks recirculating its ran fine for like a week since I've done it but now my tuwant it just start bucks my check engine lights on an is reading

Well, the temperature dropped around here last week, and you might just be experiencing fuel-cut. Any type of tuning device?

 

[Tgworkman]

Nope all I've done is hiboost fmic hks bov
and a injen cai

Wideband? Stock boost? List all your mods if you can please.
