Bye bye motor

So it finally happened, 2 days ago on the way to work before getting on the highway I did a second to third gear pull and felt like a hesitation/loss of power for a second and I let off almost like I hit fuel cut real quick.

Car was still on and got on the turn pike and it seemed different, car had a slight vibration while cruising, drove regular and did another little pull to see while watching the wideband and saw it started to lean out and just cruised it .. Vibrates at idle and the boost gauge bounces slightly..

Started up and drove it home after work, compression tested the rear rotor only so far (if I did it right) .. http://img525.imageshack.us/i/file13...oncvxifsw.mp4/

I was hoping to go single within a couple months but it seems it will happen sooner... Need to start piecing things together

Make sure to check your plugs will give you the same as a bad motor.

Check the Flex Capacitor before you assume its the motor... Just messing with you.. That sucks. most of us have been there. Make sure you find out what caused it to blow before you go rebuilding.

My tune wasn't the best , after I got tuned about 3 or 4 years ago by Steve , somehow it got messed up on top end and I ended up having to send it to him and a couple trys later it was alright but not the best... Oslo it could of been that or my fuel pump gave out for a second because I am having a tad bit of wire issue with it every blue moon. So who knows what it could of been...
