1G Car basically dead

[jmackisback]

I have fmic, wide band 02, correct ngk plugs gapped properly, turbo back exhaust,safc tuned. All has been well until today, but on the way to work i stopped at a light and when i went to accelerate there was almost zero power at all, like none. My autometer gauge showed normal boost but the car basically moved 5mph and my af gauge showed EXTREMELY rich, like 10 and it reeked like fuel. I checked for boost leaks and can't find any. Any ideas? No check engine light.

And i have 255 pump that was put in a month ago

check for spark fuel and compression could be anything.

Thanks, will have to try to get it to a shop. Dang.

well if it reeks like fuel, and you are getting pig rich AFR readings from your WB, then id look at a failed FPR or injectors that are stuck open.

do you have a stock FPR and injectors? pull the plugs and see if they are soaked or you have fuel puddled on your pistons.

Yes i do have stock fpr and injectors. I will take your advice and check once i get it towed.

How did you check for leaks? Check before and after turbo inlet

I will do a more thorough check today. Could a bad boost leak cause 9.5 AF and literally next to no power? When I say no power, I mean I can only reach 10mph

The stock AFR could be the issue as it is getting over run by the 255lph causing running rich and lack of power. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the things I have read says you need after market AFR.

FPR not AFR auto check sorry.

 

[jmackisback]

I have an AEM AFPR arriving tomorrow. I'll do a further investigation tomorrow as well, as I am stuck at work all day today.

 

[2gGst98]

Sorry I don't have any more info for you, I hope you get it figured out and it's not too hard or expensive.

 

[ThunderChild]

wouldnt surprise me if you have a boost leak compounding the over-run stock fpr. that would wreak havoc on the cars drivability.

once you do a BLT and get that FPR swapped out, let us know what u find. GL

 

[jmackisback]

Putting in an AEM afpr tomorrow, I'll keep you posted

UPDATE:
I tightened a loose coupler and unplugged/replugged my SAFC and all is well
