Help Please-Emergency

[owenwes]

Okay, so about a month ago in early February, I was driving on my way to school, I was stopped at a stop light then when the light turned green I tried to accelerate but my car started to bog, I let off the gas and pushed back on it and it was fine. I had to go to school so I went on with my day and when I drove my msp home it was fine. It has been driving fine until yesterday when I was at a light and my engine started to bog without me even accelerating. The best i could describe it is my engine was burping. I tried to accelerat but my engine had an extreme loss of power and it seemed my turbo wasnt even spooling up. At that point i was rolling a little bit so i let off the gas and pushed back on it and it began to drive okay but it is happening frequently. Can anyone help me.

WGA on its way out?

 

[protegerider]

had a similar problem, though it only happend when i was in boost. turned out to be the spark plugs.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

Thats possible too, I'd go through all your basic stuff... new plugs, clean EGR, test WGA, make sure you don't have any boost leaks...

 

[owenwes]

I recently replaced all the boost lines, I had the ngk v-power plugs in and it didnt seem like it was running good so i put in the ngk iridiums, somthing that i failed to mention before is that the oil line to my turbo is leaking oil a little, not enough for there to be spots on my garage floor but enough for there to be like a muddy oil build up around that area.

 

[owenwes]

Also a little more information about my problem, when my car newly starts up, i can drive my car for about 15-20 min until it starts to do the burping thing, and a little after it starts doing the burping thing when my msp is at a dead stop- it starts to stall when i accelerate.It runs okay in about 3000-3500 rpm and if i try to boost in about 4000 rpm then the engine starts to bogg.

No CEL?

 

[owenwes]

Nope, no CEL

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I'm gonna lean toward your WGA... pull the vac line off of the wga and blow in it.. if you get any air through, thats your problem.

 

[owenwes]

Okay, ill check that out when I get home, Also- has anyone had an oil leaking problem around their turbo oil line. I was used to there being a little oil around where the line is connected to my turbo, but I have oil all on my heat shield for the oil line and all on the bottom of my oil tank and yes the oil tank bolt is on tight.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

what oil are you running? has it ever been apart, banged into.. etc?

 

[owenwes]

Im running castrol syntec 5w30 with 53,000 miles, no i havnt done any internal work, and if banged in to u mean like car accidents then no, I havnt had any car accidents that would have damaged my engine. my profec boost controller says that I have boosted over 130 if anyone is familliar with the profec, if that would have caused any internal damage.

I meant more of banged it with a wrench or something... I would run 10W-30 oil if I were you.. it will at least slow down the leak, and in my opinion protects the turbo better...

 

[owenwes]

Okay, its about time for another oil change so ill probably put that in next, i put that Z-Maz into my system a couple months ago also so would that of made the oil a little thinner and made it start to leak

 

[owenwes]

I checked my wastegate actuator and it is just about as easy to suck in and blow through as a straw

 

[Wagonbacker9]

time for a new one. yours is spent.

 

[Aricjm15]

also check and make sure the charge pipes do not have any cracks in them if you are running the factory pipes.

 

[owenwes]

So do you think if I replace the WGA then it should leak oil less or maybe not at all, since the WGA controls some of the turbo internals. Thinkin about gettin the Forge also.

 

[MSP2k3]

Also, i would borrow a fuel pressure gauge and check to see if your fuel pump is on its way out... my MSP did something similar and I had to replace the fuel pump assembly, but has been running great ever since.

With a fuel pressure gauge hooked up the pressure would go from normal to 0 then back to normal then back to 0.

 

[owenwes]

Yeah thats what I thought it was originally but then I had second thoughts. Any suggestions on where to get a new one
