What have you done to your MSP today?

my boost af gauge combo, which im not sure how relaible it may be, says im running lean, even with WOT, not at first but once boost builds up.

well u dont want to be lean in boost. so fix whatevers wrong cause it will blow up.

A vacuum leak post-MAF would cause a running lean condition so what you are reading may be true. I would stop going into boost and be a little more careful driving (if you have to) until you can find what's up. The stock rubber vacuum lines are notorious for drying and cracking over time.

EDIT: Also, do you have the stock IC pipes? I'd check them because I read a lot of cases we people have had them pop loose.
 
i made a homemade boost leak tester, but i couldnt get a good enough seal on my valve stem. so i havnt been able to use it yet
 
the only way to fix it would be to buy an AFC wouldnt it, or unichip

no, assumung u have a msp, you have a problem. it shouldnt do that stock. so u have to find out whats causing the issue. as said by magnum -10 isnt good, you definately have a leak.

you need to be in -18-22 range in vac at idle.
 
yea i have a msp. ill do the leak tester as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow since its raining i wont work, so maybe i can do it then.
 
lol. is it comedy hour at the kamon residence?

Indeed not!

On another note: my car has the same idle issue. I replaced the vac lines and its still the same issue. Luckily tony is going to reload the super map on my afc to see if its an afc issue. I'm hoping that it is something that simple.
 
but its being doing this since i bougt the car. so i dont guess my mods would have anything to do with it.
 
I have to repalce the gasket that seperates the EM to cylender head because its broke and leaking. I THOUGHT I had that doc the displays which sequence the bolts go back in but I don't, does anyone have a copy?

I don't plan on taking the enitre POS off just pull it back enough to replace it, then bolt her all back up...
 
hey guys, i gota ? for some of ya, i heard that if your boost gauge has a vac reading your suppose to be able to tell if you have a leak. what is the vac reading suppose to be at and what will it be if you have a leak, mine stays at -10 on start up and goes to -12 in gear when i let off the gas while moving.

a good first question nobody asked is what kind of boost gauge do you have. If the gauge reads in PSI in both boost and vacuum that reading is generally correct.

Btw see your from hickory, my dad lives there and says he has spotted a spicy a couple times thus far. I will have to catch up with you the next time i go up to see him

+1...-12 is not enuff vacuum
