[toofast4u]

I just bought this 95 gst from soe gut for $500 bucks. Yea a steal. But there one problem. When i accelerate the car feel like it want to turn off. The on way it doesnt do that is if i accelerate from 3500RPM. It only happen around 2000Rpm and it jump really hard as if i was just learning had to drive stick.Ok let me tell you alittle about the car. It's a 95 gst manual,has a bov turbo xs, a muffer, and a oost controller. Now when i first got the car I had new plugs put in, oil change, new plug wires. I relly dont know what can be make this happen but i would be happy to hear some tips. Thanks Guys

I think this could possibly be a clogged fuel filter, wouldn't think injectors since it goes away after 3500rpms, not sure though.

so how do i check that.

so how do i check that.

Just replace it. Its like $20. Who knows how old it is. I have heard change it every year but no one does that. Its a good place to start since its fairly cheap.

That would be a boost leak. The pipes between your turbo and intake manifold are not sealed. Search for boost leak and perform a boost leak test. Its no big deal really.

ok now how do i do that to i have to take all my gas out.

One question and one question only. Are you venting?

 

[gionta]

to be honest i would do a whole maintenence on the car, belts filters, and fluids before you go jumping to conclusion. Because it could be as simple as a fuel filter clogged like habitat said. You can get one for probably around 25$ at your local autozone or pepboys. Just a fair warning, not a fun swap!

Best of luck!!

 

[toofast4u]

what do you mean by venting.

 

[crimsondragon]

Is your TurboXS BOV piece of shit being recirculated back into the intake?

 

[toofast4u]

yea dude and i just gut the car i will change it. But you don't have to jump on here with words like that at all.

 

[crimsondragon]

For my explaination on why it's a piece of shit.

There have also been several others who have owned it and also claims of a boost leak coming from it. If you have a leak, I'll bet that's where it is.

You said you changed the plugs....What plugs and what gap? NGKs ONLY and gapped at .028...besides that, listen to what everyone else has said.

 

[toofast4u]

yea ngks. so yea i guess i will do it . everyone says the bottom nut is a pain anyone taking it off.

Picture of engine bay?
Fuel filter, timing belt, water pump, alternator, just but those now and save yourself the tow truck cost next month, honestly...

I would say boost leak, ignition timing, and how the boost controler is hooked up is the first thing to make check. I havent tested a dsm that didnt have a boost leak and bad ignition timing. Check and fix all boost leaks first then set the ignition timing, then go from there. Also, check for uncensored air getting into the intake passed the maf sensor. I had a similar problem before, my bmw ran like crap when I forgot to hook up a vacuum hose, I almost didnt make it to school.
