here is the deal.

i just installed a new radiator, thermostat, and intake on my FD and i started her up today. problem is when i take her out to drive around and test. she wont go bast 2.5k RPM. no matter if its WOT or half or anything, she cuts out at 2.5k rpm. does anyone know the problem? i dont think its a vacuum leak. i found a metal hose that leads to nowhere near the rats nest and i saw that its normal, the "empty pipe".

i give her gas and she cuts out at 2.5k rpm. turbos are spooling though. whats wrong? please help.

 

Is it exactly by RPM point? Is there anything else you touched?

i did replace some vacuum lines but i triple checked them to make sure they were secure. also i forgot to mention my car sat for about 3 weeks and i had to use started fluid spray to get her going.

 

did you knock the map sensor line off?

 

knocked some wires loose but reconnected and mostly everything is fine.

only problem now is that i cant feel my turbo's kicking in... time for a boost guage to find out.

 

you wont feel the turbos at 2500RPM check the map sensor hose see if its still on. other than that is the car an auto or 5speed?

 

Second the boost sensor. Do you have a CEL?

 

check all your grounds

 

5speed. map sensor is good... i have no CEL...and my grounds are set... can installing an intake really do this much? i mean mess up my boosting?

 

Recheck your work. If the car was working before you did anything, then what ever is currently wrong happened from your hands.

Start checking the areas where you were working. Make sure you didn't move the OMP or CAS wires in the way of the pulley belts where they may get cut. Make sure if you R&R anything in the ignition area, you put it back correctly (i.e. like the ignition harness connectors going to the correct coils).

 

Check the top engine ground to the firewall-caused a similar issue long ago

 

what intake did you run? i dont think the stock ecu is that finky but possibly? someone correct me if im wrong.

 

i got the greddy airinx intake.. top engine ground to the firewall? the one connected to the engine hook? thats fine.. i really need a boost guage to see whats happening..,. maybe i put the UIM on wrong?? i followed the vacuum diagram.. maybe wiring.. but each female connecter only goes to one male one so i cant mess that up..
