toronto,
hey guys, on my way to work today I'm driving down the road, in 3rd gear I take it to about 12psi @3700ish rpms, and the car bucks like a sob, sorta what I imagine fuel cut feels like......
ok so I take it easy, leave work, decide I'll try and boost just a little to see...
anyways I hit a few pounds in 3rd, around 3000rpms, and the car stutters and wont accelerate for beans.
Now to me that second problem sounds like an intake leak, but why would I hit fuel cut before if I have a huge leak?
I dont know I'm gonna do a leak test tomorrow, and go from there, just looking for suggestions...
thanks
 
Sounds like you already have a pretty good idea of what's going on. Sounds like a leak to me also.
 
cel?
 
no cel, which is interesting in the sense that when i blew a coupler in my old 1g, and the car started bad hesitation etc... the cel came on
now to find way to make my clamps stick better... i remember something about hairspray, maybe I'll just buy some t-bolt clamps..
