Have you checked for boost leaks?

 

[jbark]

i have not done a boost leak test but it has been like this since i got the car 2 months ago and i only recently started to lose power. i will test the boost when i get some cash tho, jeremy

You can make on from your local hardware store. It might cost you no more then under 20 bucks.

Are you running a completely stock setup?

Check your intercooler hoses. It can also be your blow off valve. 2g's bov are garbage. Do you have it recirculated or to artmosphere??

 

[LTUDSM]

do you have any CEL (Check engine light on)????

Dont all DSMs run rich from factory? I too would like to know how to fix this without DSMLink or SAFC, I dont have boost leaks or nothing wrong as well.

 

[jbark]

im stock with just an intake. and i have checked every hose. the only place that i think would leak would be the bov which will be changed once my piping comes in. but what about fixing the richness. it was fine and perfect but ran rich b4 and now has a small issue and still runs rich. oh and i have no CEL.

i run insanely rich, thats what my gauge says, i do have a boost leak at the bov and my fuel injectors are ####ed and i have 2 fuel pumps

The very first thing I would check is the plugs. Fouled or incorrect and fouled plugs will get you every time. Pull them all out, and tell us what they look like, and what the make and model is.

I had a similar problem. Plugs and wires were ok. No Cell was thrown. It was my O2 sensor. How is your mpg for a tank?

 

[costas14]

its like 140 or something, its horrible, i was idling in the cvs parking lot and some guy goes ## burning a lot of gas huh? my cel just came on when i got home so ill have to wait till tomorrow to plug in the snap on for it
