Sounds like it could be a map sensor issue... Did you intstall the little vacuum hose on the map sensor?

 

yes of course, well the thing is i replaced the map sensor once already, could the new one i installed gone bad in one day?

 

Most likely not. It just sounds like how the car acts when that hose becomes disconnected... It's so often simple things. I've had the same problem before and it was always the map sensor hose falling off or me forgetting to attach it to the map sensor.

What map sensor are you using?

 

zip ties on vacuum lines are helpful on boosted engines. might want to do that and see if it keeps that line on if in fact it did come off.

 

no the line has never came off that would be an obviouos thing and i would have slipped it back on the nipple on the map sensor if that did ever happen.....so would anyone like to help me with the fd? pm me and Ill send u my #

thanks

 

Pull the codes yet?
