One thing after another. Ok here I go. I lost boost all of a sudden and now the car only drives 8MPH no matter how hard i step on it. It was idling at 2k but now it idles fine, but just doesn't move. If I let the clutch up to quick it stalls. I think this is it for me. I just built the motor all over again less than 400 miles ago.
 
It doesnt sound like you have an engine problem. It sounds more like a rolling chassis problem. Does the car roll freely in nuetral? Dont sell it! Check to make sure your brakes arent too tight, or that your bearings are rolling freely. No boost is kinda weird. Make sure that you dont have any boost leaks. Also, make sure that your boost control solinoid or manual boost controler is hooked up properly and functioning properly. What other noises does it make? If it is running that funny it should be doing something else weird that you havent mentioned. :dsm:
 
Could it possibly be a MAJOR boost leak? Check all your hoses, one could have popped completely off, it happens! And you're car WON'T go very far if it did.... ;)
 
Ok i checked the ecu and the second to the top plug was out. I plugged it in and the car idles at 2grand. Now the car drives good but idles crazy. The throttle screw is all the way down. Any suggestions? Oh and thanks for the replies.
