Did you experience this with your stock airbox?

Never..not until after I got the cold air installed

Double check the clamps and make sure that there arent any leaks before the MAF..

Alright...I'll have one of my friends do it for me...I have no idea what to look for...I'm still learning about these damn things.

 

[ItsSlow]

Check these and make sure they're tight..

 

[Imaruki]

Will do...I was told to baby my car until I get it fixed....does that sound right?

 

[ItsSlow]

Yes, do that..

+1 since it's the same thing I had been saying. LOL yeah go through and check every clamp from the MAF to the turbo. You should find a clamp that's about to fall off from it's spot. I had the clamp at the turbo leaking so this reminds me of that time.

its a loose clamp some where before the maf...when you idle does it feel like its dying?
i had the same problem it was teh clamp after the turbo but before the maf

Nope, on idle it sounds great.

reset the ecu?

reset the ecu?

How?

 

[ItsSlow]

Unhook the battery and let it sit unhooked for ~20mins.. Then hook it back up..

 

[Imaruki]

Ok, I'll try that, and I checked the screw on those clamps...and they all were tight......unless that's not was I was supposed to be checking

 

[mp5_tunerx]

does it still do it?

 

[Imaruki]

Well, I haven't done the battery thing yet, but after checking the screws, yeah it was still doing it. I haven't really driven it today....but I'll do it before I take it to the dealership....it's still under factory warranty until 11SEP07. I've barely got 45k miles on it.

 

[Imaruki]

Ok, dealership says bad wastegate actuator, busted motor mount, and over boosting at 20 psi when it slams down like that. Warranty is covering all that s*** and the radio

 

[ItsSlow]

AHA!!! I knew it had to be a bad wga.. Couldnt have told you about the motor mount though..
