Wow. Do a search on "neutral" and "revving" or "boost" and maybe you'll understand why my response was actually quite meaninful.

And how can you make a judgement on how your car is running by free revving instead of... you know... driving it?

Get a BLT done.

This has nothing to do with my problems. None of this happened before I hid my wires. Now i have a shitty idle, and breaks up alot. I did a leak test and have none.
 
I would think the most obvious is to check to make sure all your vacuum lines are still hooked up, being as the problem came after doing a wire tuck.

Yeh i actually had to plug them all. I have no idea whats wrong. I am just about to sell it.

What do you mean "plug them all" Did you do the taboo emissions removal? Dont get frustrated and sell the car, it is probably something small.
 
I can hear the car missing. It has to build boost to even have enough power to rev up. Are you only running on 2 cylinders? Do you have a logger to see what's going on? Injectors sticking, bad plugs or wires, bad coil, low compression, etc.


I have new plugs and wires, there all running. I don't have a logger. Yeh i seen taboos thing. I removed all of the emissions and either looped the ports or plugged them. I took a piece of tape and put it over a small peice of vacuum line with a clamp. It might be the sensor but i heard that the car wouldn't even start with out them sensors. Correct? But i cant unplug all of them when the car is running and nothin happens. Even the sensor on the intake......
 
The car has a misfire. That's causing a Load on the engine and making the turbo spool.
Check your Fuel Injector plugs, Spark Plugs, Plug wires, ignition coil, leaking vac lines. Also check the vac line going to the Wastgate actuator.
 
does the car have an external wastegate? that should be one of the first questions LOL
 
Plus in the video you had a cel on so get that checked out too and let us know what it was......
 
No im completly stock. Yeh i checked everything except the ignition coil. WG lines are good. Yeh i tried to see what code i had but im gonna try again now. So i will let yous know....THanks
 
Sorry if I minsunderstood your original post and jumped to conclusions about the antics in neutral.

Are your symptoms just from idling or are you revving it up?

Well it takes about five times to actually start the car. But it was idling at 300RPMS and i moved the screw to get it idling alright. But it stutters real bad and breaks up. Everything was fine before i did some wire tucking. But anyway i just tried to test my ecu but it won't work. I used the thing from VFaq saying to use pin one and twelve. For some reason it isn't working. I am trying to find a place to buy the clips that plug into the thermastat sensors. Anyone have another idea how to test the ecu? Thanks
