Ok i worked on the car and got new gaskets for the throttle body! It had a boost leak the gaskets didnt fix it but did make it run better. It still doesnt idle on a cold start. My brother was lookin under the hood to see if he could figure it out and he said it looked like an inj. was loose. so could that be my problem? Another thing is that it want go into reverse after it warms up for some reason??? So if anyone could help it would be great.
 
You should try to be a little more descriptive with your title,

subjects like yours get passedup and overlooked a lot.

is it possible for you to hookup to an air compressor and REGULATE the psi so you have constant pressure, and you can poke and probe around and listen for a Hiss.

This is how i found i had a Intake Manifold > Head leak.
im sure if you type in "idle surge" you will get Madcore hits.
 
Be sure to do a boost leak test. Then you can pay with the BISS. How is the idle when warm?
 
Does anyone know why my car want go into reverse after it warms up??? I just had a transmission built by TRE so it shouldnt be going bad.
 
ok i fixed the problem where my car wouldnt go into reverse. Where the linkage mounts to the tranny the bolts in the bracket came loose and it kept getting looser so we tightened them up and now it shifts great!! im still workin on the other problems. ill keep you updated.
