Not sure why this is happening, but I will be driving along just fine and out of no where the car wont want to drive.

I can turn the car off and on again and it will drive normal.

I have a small exhaust leak and a very small boost leak.

I was told by a friend that it shouldn't cause my car to run like this, I don't want to waste anyone's time since I cannot fix my leaks at this moment in time.

Like I said it runs fine for about 5 minutes / miles then hates life.

It seems like its not getting fuel, my wide-band will read like 17 and stay there

I have a log pulled up of a cruise and you will see my throttle position in some cases go high and my rpm's not move.

I don't have my wide-band hooked up to the ecu yet sorry I know I should have this done.

My profile is updated with my mods and such.

If there is any questions please ask I am quite new.

Is your exhaust leak before the turbo and/or oxygen sensors? You car uses o2 sensors to run right in closed loop which includes idle and cruising


boost leaks after the MAS can also cause issues
