My car is running rather off right now. It's idle surging all crazy, idling lean, stumbling, stalling after start up, running very rich under boost, stalling after I rev it up, and it will barely get itself to peak boost level. And just recently when I start it the engine will rev to 3k and die right afterwards. I thought it was an intake leak or something cause I thought it was making a wierd sound under boost, but I can't seem to find anything. WTF could it be? The BOV go bad? Is it an ECU problem? I don't know, but ever since the alternator went bad it's been running bad, but not this terrible. I've allready checked cam timing and that's dead on. I thought it might have been the MAF translator so I swapped that out and that wasn't it.
