hey guys this is my prob sometimes when i drive and punch it all the way and switch the gear the needle goes all the why to 0 and my car dies out instead of it going to idle or what ever rpm.
i installed a inter cooler apexi downpipe and thermal 3' exhaust k&n filter maybe too much air or something u need to tune it i don't know everything else is stock.

the other is my clutch pedal, i keep bleeding it for hours and i get these air bubbles and i don't know where they are coming from and i cant set up my clutch pedal from grabbing it from half of the pedal it grabs 1/4 away from the floor maybe its because i installed a new act max extreme clutch kit or something but i think that doesn't have nothing to do with that.

OK THANKS GUYS DSM POWER .:thumb: :thumb:
 
it sounds like you are getting too much air and no way to compensate for it.

as for the clutch sounds like you have a faulty master or slave cylinder or maybe even a line. if it is either of the cylinders replace them BOTH. otherwise you have about a 90% chance of whichever cylinder you dont replace going bad pretty soon after.

YEH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT THANKS MAN.:thumb:
 
Okay, I'm out of breath from reading that huge run on sentence, but anyway if your car is dying when you push the clutch its most likely from running too rich. More air or too much air would cause the rpms to rise not fall so I don't know where that too much air theory came from.

1. Check your plugs to see if they are fouled out
2. Is your blow off valve recirculated?
3. Do a boost leak test.

Edit: I have an act 2100 lb clutch and fidanza flywheel and it grabs in about the same spot. I think its normal but I would like to hear what the experts have to say as well
