do these steps it your should be good
1. make sure you are not venting the BOV--
2. set your idle and BLISS properly (grounded) (or tweak it to whats needed)
*3. do a boost leak test*
4. check your Throttle cable and Throttle Position sensor (volt meter)
5. Clean your throttle body and plate
6. check your ISC motor coils
7. check your 02 sensor and make sure its not bad or bad connecitions
8. check your Coolant Temp Sensor and make sure its not reading crazy (wacks your idle out)
9. ECU possible caps leaking or problems
10. check you Crank angle sensor possible bad sensor (even though you cant adjust it)
11. if you got dsm link try poking around with timing and low fuel trims global settings low thottle

12.you can give me a call or pm if that dosnt work...well get it bro

Do you mean BISS screw? If only our cars had any form of "BLISS" to be had in them!

To the OP, is your car throwing any codes? Check vac lines and emissions. (EGR, etc.)

no check engine. the only thing i can think is that it had old gas in it that plugged up the stock fuel pump so i had to get a new one and drained gas and put new stuff in. im thinking the fuel filter is plugged with old nasty gas.

It would be nice if thats the problem. Relatively cheap and easy. It might be that the filter is too clogged and is letting a little bit of the pollutants into your injectors.

Usually people change the filter when they replace the pump, or at least I have always been taught to. That could be it, but your symptoms aren't leading me to suspect that. I would change it regardless though! Check your vac lines and all emissions since it's a N/T you don't have to worry about boost leaks like us turbo guys.

a little late but the problem was a bad sensor on the intake manifold that controls fuel and what not

The throttle position sensor?

ok this post is a little old. but what i thought fixed my did not. The car surges going around corners to hard or if its hot out and i give it WOT it surges like im getting fuel cut and runs like crap. always seems to run pretty good in normal or cold temperatures. ideas people?
