boost, but no power, then no boost, no power

[boostedgsx95]

ok, first off i bought the car back in feb, and within the 1st week off having this car it would all the sudden under hardly any load, (slow moving traffic) just lose power, once it started it would NOT go away, i checked all vac. lines and all connections and everything was good, i couldnt come up with anything, so a couple weeks later i decided to do a tune up, plugs, wires, tube seals etc.. after the new wires and plugs it ran great! well now a couple days ago it started doing it again, and under heavy load it will cut in and out in and out and just chug. so im just confused on if its possibly coil or somewhere in ignition, or possibly fuel problem. any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Dylan

Pull your plugs and check them for anything unusual. If they look fine, then replace the wires and see what happens from there.;

if it isnt ignition issues such as plugs wires coil pack blah blah blah , bad fuel ?. I had the problem when i was WOT with is with open throttle. i had this problem bad it would bog and wanna die i had to replace my TPS ( throttle position sensor ) and clean my throttle body cause my throttle wouldnt open right so the car was not getting the right air .

ok well i pulled my plugs and they still looked really good. i havent replaced my wires (yet atleast) bc im currently not working .. so money is just not there. im going to try and do some more checking later on in the day though.

Sounds like it may possibly be a fuel problem or maybe a boost leak somewhere. I know people say this alot but try to do a boost leak test just to make sure.

they say to do blt alot because 9 times out of 10 with a drive ability problem on our cars it is the cause. do a blt first check your plugs for tracking maybe try ohming the wires see if they are all about the same. then check your tps sensor and clean that throttle body.

well one of my buddys made a home-made boost leak tester and i tested it and i hear alot of air coming out of my BOV gasket. but he seems to think with 16psi in the system, that its not alot of actual air going to come out when i drive it. but im starting to think it is bc when i first drove the car with the new fmic 2 weeks ago or so the BOV makes the distinct sound like cho cho cho cho () but now it hardly does that it just kinda makes a faint air coming out sound just once (like stock 2g).. so im still confused and "dumbfounded"
