Car keeps dieing. *Searched* :(
 
Well Ive been looking for a good 4 hours for info on how to fix my problem but cant find something similiar.... Ok here goes..

The other day I had a racing beat clutch put in RPS pressure plate and a Racingbeat Aluminum Flywheel .... all the fluids got changed and replaced, drove it for about 15mins then garaged it. Now today I was driving to the gas station filled up , and continued to leave , I was at about to get into some very low boost when I got a very bad kick .. Right away I pulled over to see what was wrong , i went out of gear when I was stopped and my car completely died. So I tried to start it up and it wouldnt go , so I eventually get it started and it was LOUD , I had no boost and it smelt a bit funny.. I had to drive one block downhill to my house , and all the time I had no boost , I had to keep the revs up or the idles would drop to zero and it would die. This car is not driven hard , spirited maybe , but it is not driven alot...

I checked my piping and saw one pipe unplugged that was for the air intake.. My lights dont work , checked the battery ... Am I missing something?

Some history on the car... 30,000 Original Miles , Stock Mount Intercooler & Battery Relocation , Racing beat Exhaust , custom DP and Custom Cold Air, and the stuff just added in the other day.

since you haven't as yet gotten any replies i will start off w a few obvious things to check.

check the vacuum hose at your MAP sensor. it is located on the firewall near the elbow before the throttle body as to your lack of boost and rough running.

check the fuse for your lights.

good luck,

Still not working at all... Anyone else?

your post is kinda vague. what do you mean by loud? what does the funny odor smell like? are you running a cat? what was your boost pattern previously?

Which lights don't work? Just the headlights? Or a bunch of different lights? Might wanna check the fusebox that's next to the battery that has the main fuses...

And I second Mr. Coleman's suggestion of checking the notorious MAP Sensor and the hose underneath it.

Stock ECU? any check engine light codes? maybe it went into the "limp" mode......reset the ECU (just for kicks and grins).......
