i Have a huge problem my laser says it makes 14psi of boost as soon as i touch the pedal which is impossible it ildes fine it will not turn any more than 2300rpm i bought it from a friends dad he said the computer was junk but it does not run right when you forget to put the injector seals in i fixed that then it ran fine and i let it set over winter and fired it up every once in a while then this week i was going to start driving it and now it does not run right at all it think its cutting fuel really early if any one knows anythingh about this lmk or if you need more info Thanks ,AJ
 
Did you replace your ecu yet? If not, Replace it. You said that your friends father said it was bad. When my old gsx needed a new ecu, It woulden't idle good, I coulden't step on the gas because it would flood out and the boost gauge went up and down all over the place just at idle.....
 
yes its the factory gauge i know its not right the boost gauge is ran from the mass air flow ?right < well when i got the car i knew it didnt run but ive seen the way they work on stuff so i checked it out before buying a new ecu and it was the injector seals were missing so i replaced them and it ran awsome fired up first bump and then i let the car sit and it ran fine during the winter but now when i want to drive it it doesn't run right, will a ecu from a awd turbo work??? because i can pick one of them up tomorrow but thats as close as i can get to the right ecu but thanks for the help if that doesnt work its either getting sold ,junked or or getting rebuilt completey Thanks, AJ
 
Oh forgot i unplugged the mass air flow sensor and the car will rev fine ???kinda rough because it has no idea of outside temp and stuff and does anyone have a drawing of all the vaccum lines thats another thing why you dont buy cars from your friends all of the vaccum lines are unhooked underneath the intake and there are no lines that aren't hooked up i dont know whats up with that everything else is hooked up and does anyone know of any automatic trans that are bullet proof my dad keeps killing them in his 91n/t laser he is on his 3rd Thanks, AJ

mine does the same, unplug the air flow sensor and it revs and runs fine, mine also jumps to 14 psi as soon as you hit it, someone help us, and if you replace the airflow sensor and it runs better then tell me so i can do the same :D
