Ok well i had a power issue with the car i got that fixed but now some crazy reason it wont rev past 1800rpm i did a blt up to 15psi im at 10psi it to 30 seconds for my boost gauge to ho from 10psi to 0 doesnt seem to bad and i dont hear any leaks that would cause it to run that bad i have a slight and i mean slight leak at the injector seals

With how its running it seems like when a ic pipescomes apart yet no leaks at the couplers im lost

Im at wits end with this car its about to end up in many pieces next to the barn

I have my safc hooked up and maf wire cut as i supposed to so i checked my maf is reading i checked the wire to safc and to ecu both are seeing signal

What could it be i also checked all my plugs in the car all is fine
 
Check your ecu, plug wires, injectors, replace that fuel filter. Check coils. Man theres plenty of things that can go wrong. Id check ecu. Mine had same thing and was a bad ecu and timing a tooth off. What other symptoms are you getting?[DOUBLEPOST=1411252701][/DOUBLEPOST]What mods have you done to your car?

Thats all that the car is doing

And ive done fmic evo 8 injectors safc maf adapter with filter e316g boost gauge wideband emissions delete thats it all worked good yesterday besides a battery connection problem that i fixed and now this WTF
 
Have you checked your coilpack and wires? Also definitely check your timing immediately. It could have skipped a couple teeth and cause big problems. I had my timing jump barely and my car had about a third of the power it should have.

Timing is fine i checked it and its all new stuff around 100 miles on it and it ran fine before i fixed the battery issue now that i fixed that it started
 
try disconnecting your downpipe maybe the exhaust flex section collapsed causing a restriction .
 
I know this has nothing to do with yours but I remember my 3g....God was it horrible,
had it for months(maybe 6 now that I think of it) and then randomly car thought I was stealing it so it went into the complete off mode. Then a week after that it works fine. Get home with window down and lock and shut. Realized window was down and put hand through window and unlocked. Woe and behold. The f***er has an alarm.....where was it months ago when someone stole my CDs? Any way. I also later learned that if the car was locked and I opened the hatch with the key. I was stealing. So had to walk to driver side door to turn off the alarm. Almost got arrested by a cop for that damn eclipse.[DOUBLEPOST=1411267571][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, and after it didn't start after a week me and a friend moved it and a mouse ran out of the car. (Chased him down and decapitated him with a shovel, damn vermin). After the mouse ran out it started. And magically my security system appeared.
