well I now the car jerks and wants to fall flat around 4k when boost starts to kick in, I think its more than likely the manifold but just want to make sure
so I have come to the conclusion that the car is hitting fuel cut...had the exhaust temporary welded today to close up the crack and it still does the same thing, how should I go about getting rid of the fuel cut? I changed the spark plugs recently to NGKs and just threw on a cheap spectre filter for now to get rid of the stock airbox...but thats it for "mods" thus far
Take the vac line from your fuel pressure regulator off and smell it. If it smells like fuel or if it taste like fuel when you blow in it then its a bad regulator. Do you have a wideband?
I'll do that, I actually just got new plugs earlier some copper NGKs I read those are recommended for basically stock MSPs I had replaced the plugs about a month ago for Iridiums, so Ill gap them to .32 and go from there! thanks for your help flspeed
U could try replacing the coils. Are u getting a cel? It might also be a bad o2 sensor or most likely her wastegate is bad if its never been replaced before u can get a cheap one from atpturbo.com
The cause of the flashing cel is from large misfire. I know a lot of people have problems with coils going bad. As far as gas mileage, cars eat more gas in cold weather, idk if you have taken that into concideration. My car has been suckin a LOT of gas here since its been cold. I get 220miles on 3/4 of tank when I fill up. I used to get around 260ish.
