So I went to start my car this morning after noticing nothing unusual driving the night before. It had a real hard time starting, first nothing, then stumbling, then finally started and seemed to run fine. Went to leave and it started bucking real hard around 2k RPM. Had to take the wife's car to work. Came home and same problems. I did a visual for any huge boost leak and couldn't find anything. Link for some reason does not want to connect - although I had no issues before today.

Pretty confused as to what it could be.

That is at constant throttle.

Any ideas? The no link is really pissing me off. Could it be related? tried a bluetooth dongle and that connected fine to the ECU. No CEL is on.
 
I pulled it off and took a look at it and it appears fine. is there a way to check it? obviously link would be ideal but i am having issues there.
 
I had the same problem but stupid me just didn't plug it in after some work, LOL. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in on this issue.
 
It definitely could be that, just gotta get link back up ad running so I can check it
