Lost my college grant... evidently the state of Oregon can't afford to help educate me anymore. I've sold the mods to raise tuition money for fall term; hoping I don't have to sell the car.
thats gay, sell your swimmers

So nobody has any ideas? Today I got a CEL it was a P0302 which it's thrown before, new coilpacks, wires, NGKs, PCV, air filter. Car runs like s*** when it's warmed up and misses, thinking maybe the MAF or a fuel issue, how can I test the fuel pressure? It feels like a flat miss, the car bucks under acceleration.

I pulled them off and they don't have any cracks, it runs smooth and pulls hard when it's cold but when it warms up it stumbles under any acceleration. Think a WGA would cause this? I couldn't blow air through the vac line to the wastegate.

that def sounds like a possible boost leak, do you have any sort of piggyback?

Bone stock, I don't have anything done to the car. It doesn't seem to leak any boost when it's cold, it runs good. Plus i'm getting a misfire CEL, P0302.

check the bolts on your intake manifold, some may have come loose,
also, i would suggest making a boost leak tester, very simple and a great tool to have, i found numerous leaks in my car that i couldnt find before, and the vac was even spot on
there's normally a few air leaks around the injectors, possibly the PCV, and maybe at the TB
or you could just spray soapy water around the injectors while the car is running to see if it bubbles up, if it does then u got a leak

today i took my Vibrant off and put a stock exhaust on.....ahh the peace and quiet is nice
Have you tried swapping in a known good MAF, to rule that out?
so i should be getting a set of 04 mazda 6s rear calipers, brackets, rotors, and some hawk pads for them for a grand total of $40. 
so then all i got to get is ebrake cables. which are like $50 on rockauto, and ss brake lines. then the rear can go in. now got to start looking for the expensives stuff: front mazdaspeed6 calipers

keep in mind MS6 brakes marry you to a 17" or larger wheel. Just FYI.so i should be getting a set of 04 mazda 6s rear calipers, brackets, rotors, and some hawk pads for them for a grand total of $40.

How different are the MS6 front calipers & rotors from the regular MZ6?
Oh Noes. You can't run FD's! haha, just playin Wagon. Had to do it. (lol2)
