can someone please help me ? i have a 96' gst..and i just replaced the turbo since it was smoking too much and the turbo was blown,anywho..the car idles at about 500-1000 rpms,idles rough,and my check engine light is on too..car has to be revved high in order to move,and if i floor the accelerator the car bogs,kicks forward and starts making a popping sound,can anyone help me ?? im desperate,and the idiots in my area dont know swat about DSMs..thanks.by the way..just replaced new plugs as well as wires,im running 93+ octane,and it has fresh synthetic oil..
 
The same thing happened to me, but then i got my plugs and wires replaced with NGK, and it was all better, but apparently you've already done that so it can't be your problem. When it was happening to me, some people said it might be a bad MAS.
 
it's definately a sensor.. i don't think plugs would trip the check engine light.. i'm pretty sure only sensors do.. someone correct me if i am wrong..
i had a similar problem my check engine light would come on when i was coasting and go off when i accelerated.. it was stupid.. lagged like crazy and bogged all over.. turned out it was just my tps (throttle position sensor)

-Do a leak test on your intercooler pipe, looking at it doesn't consider a test.
-Have someone pull the error code of the check engine light, it will give you some info on what to look for.
