My car had been sitting out there for 45 days or so because my clutch died on me, along with oil seals, antifreeze leak. So i just got my car back 2 days ago finally having a mechanic fix all these problems, with a new oem clutch, oil seals, antifreeze coolant line. So on my first day i noticed a little grind after putting it in 1st gear, i think because it needs to be bleed a little bit more, but if i go from 2nd to 1st it wont grind. Or it might need a new slave cylinder. Well anyway thats not the big issue. I have tested my car to see if everything is fine (boost, rpms', etc) by getting on it a little bit (not crazy redlining) and i have noticed everytime i am at high rpms in late 3rd gear, my car would shut off on me. But then i would start it right back up. This has happened three times to me out of 4. Well today was my 4th time i tried it again, and this time car didnt shut off, instead moments later my rpm's were really weird and they would barely go up, it almost seemed like i wasnt getting enough boost in any gears. I know in 5th gear i am getting almost no boost at all after i just tried it right now. The car seemed like it wanted to stall. I dont know what the hell the problem is. Could it be because my fuel injection needs to be cleaned and a new fuel filter? Does my car need a tuneup? Do i have a boost leak Anyone know what the problem might be?
