Problem....

Well last night after meeting with my buddies at my car club, and rracing around town, i started to have a few issues with the car...


As sson as i arrived at my Gilrfriends house, and stopped (not turned off), the car wanted to stall, and turned off even with the turbo timer being on, well i started it back again it kinda wanted to stall again...


I cheked the engine bay and saw nothing wrong, so i just let it cool for a while, i did the same thing when i started it back again and went home like that, when i steped a little on the gas the car just felt like it had nothing (no power, worse than stock), what could have cause the problem??

Blown HG?, Missing Link Filter Dirty?? Anything else??

If its idleing low, almost about to stall, and sometimes stalls, it could be a MAP. When I had a crappy connection with the box that alters the MAP, it would cause that. It would also run very very very rich. I would try wiggling the wires you soldered (hopefully soldered) to the MAP, and see if its one of those connections.

Is it running rich as hell when that happens?

yeah, there is something that you can use...when my filter came out, i just pulled a piece off of my foam mop and used it...you can find foam anywhere..that is all that it is....just pull off a piece, and stuff it in the hole....trust me it will work...worked for me numerous about of times...i know that it sounds crazy, but just try it you will see...

When I need a filter, I use the laundry fabric fluffer thingys. The sheets you put in, in the dryer ya know. It works good, you only need one.

It just sounded like it had something to do with the MAP. my car would idle low, run rich as hell, and go nowhere. Those signs basically tell you to start with the MAP sensor, or missing link. at least in my case
