Burbank,
I went cruising today and my car ran fine for almost the whole hour. The fastest that i went before my problem occured was about 80.
i was driving down the street and all of a sudden my "check engine" light turned on. my buddy told me not to worry, nothins wrong.
everything was fine for like the next ten minutes, after that my car started acting weird.

it idles normally when i turn the car on, but it stumbles and acts af if it wants to die, also the engine moves alot. (i have a 95 GST with 70K)

when im stopped it takes a while for the clutch to engage and when it does i have NO power. it takes forever for the car to speed up. Before the light turned on, my car had way more balls. it also wants to die in second -----it gets the power back when the turbo spools up.


i have no idea what the problem can be. (bad sensor?????) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help out

many of you have helped me before with my problems and so far this is the biggest one.

I only have a intake and a pipe that leads to the turbo done to the car. Can that have any affect to the check engine light?

ANY info would help GREATLY.
I realyl appreciate it

thankz

Without retrieving the trouble codes then it's really a shot in the dark. Could be:
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Oxygen Sensor
Map Sensor/MAF sensor
Intake Air Temperature sensor
Throttle Position sensor
Barometric pressure sensor
Injectors
Computer
Wiring

Really any number of things and thy can all give similar symptoms if you're unsure what you're looking for.
Retrieve the codes, they are important, smack your friend for saying otherwise.
