car not running right
Starters. I was trouble shooting a boost leak the other night. I found it and took the car for a spin to see what she feels like. Well she did awesome at 12 psi. My Boost Sensor hose came off at 7k rpm. I plug it back in and the car idles fine. the boost gauge show 17 even on the vacuum side. Is a bit rough when driving at low rpm (2k-3k). It like sputering a bit. It was doing this before because I haven't adjusted my TPS after (I remove the air pump) but is a bit out of the ordinary. If you don't know the car you can't tell. I did a compression check and all 6 faces came even (110 all around). So that's good. There is also a slight ticking noice and it sound like is coming from the turbo area. Should I reset the ECU to see if the sputering goes away? What about the ticking noice? My primary has more play than what it did a few weeks before.
