    Car dies when RPMs drop

    Hey man, I had exactly the same problem. For me, it ended up being a couple of things. First, it was a vac leak. Check the ones back behind the manifold; they're kind of a b**** to get to, but that's where mine was. Second, the couplers on my intercooler had gotten loose, so I was loosing...

    Mine ended up mostly being a vacuum problem. Too many things running off the same line. Also, my BPV was busted so the MAF was getting bad readings. The guys at TopSpeed in Alpharetta hadn't worked on an MSP before mine, but they did a pretty good job with it. If you really have to go to a...

    Atlanta Shop

    So I get home and realize there's no internet...I'm at the library now... So my symptoms were that the car would stall after it was given gas, or if it was let idle for a minute or so. Once it gets gas, the boost pressure fluctuates wildly, then it tries to die unless I apply the gas again. I...

    Atlanta Shop

    I'm not real familiar with the area as my family just recently moved there, but I'll be in Peachtree City (southside of Atlanta) and the shop I'm thinking of taking it to is in Alpharetta (northside of Atlanta). Where are Lulu and Gainesville?

    I don't even know what all's messed up, that's part of the problem. I think it's a problem with the air/fuel and something with the vac lines, but I just can't figure it out. I don't trust the local dealership mechanics after they forgot to put my oil cap back on when I went in to get the oil...

    Yep, I've got a boost gauge installed. I tee'ed into the boost gauge line in order to get the vacuum line to the AFC. It's a new AFC unit, and as far as the wiring for the power and ground I just tapped into the power and ground lines on the ECU. The car starts up, but once it gets gas the...

    Checked the wastegate and that's not the problem. I've got to wait for the neighbor to get home in order to jump my car. Even with the battery disconnected it somehow managed to drain with it sitting this long and the duster I'm currently driving doesn't have the power to jump the MSP. I'll...

    Atlanta Shop

    Hey everybody, I'm going to be Atlanta over christmas visiting family and I'm trying to find a shop that can do work on my car. I've screwed something up in installing a new FMIC and SS AFC and I think I need a "professional" to take care of it. If anybody knows of a good shop in the area let...

    Ha, yeah clearing the ECU was the first thing that came to mind when it started having problems. Ah, if only it was that simple :) I'm running the stock BPV setup for now, so I don't think that would be the issue. How would I know if it was something to do with the WGA? Also, my laptop is...

    So after I installed a new FMIC on my MSP I had some stalling problems. No big deal I thought since I had an SS AFC on the way. I can't get the AFC to connect to my computer and my car goes haywire if you press the gas pedal. I'm pretty sure this one is just out of my hands now and I want to...

    Fuel Cut

    Only hitting about 4-5 psi boost before it starts up, and no I don't have a wideband yet. It and ems are on my list of things to get. I just installed a new intercooler so that's probably the culprit. I haven't been able to find a leak in any of the connections or lines thus far, though

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    Yeah, could've been a lot worse. No damage to the engine that I can tell, everything's just superficial

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    Other than losing the mirror, it dented the A pillar pretty bad and gave the passenger front quarter panel and door a couple of minor dings

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    Thanks Hurricane Fay Got hit by a tornado today. Seriously, I was on my way home from Waffle House and a tornado appeared about 50 feet in front of my car, ripped a business sign off the building and threw it at me. Took my passenger side mirror clean off...I love hurricane season in the Gulf
