hey, my car recently develop a problem of jerking around 3-4000. it never did this before and it didnt start till it rained the other day. i notice that my air filter was damp, does it a affect the maf to get wet?
I'm guessing is fuel cut and doubled checked to make sure everything is tight. i haven done a boost leak check but i put my bcs back to stock and it still does it. i plan to do a boost leak check this weekend.
a :toobad: :toobad:
 
i dont have cel, i need new plugs and wires, i just recently checked them and they're old champions. yuck, i plan on puting in some NGK's with fridays pay check. what gap are plugs?
 
Plugs should be gapped at .028 for the best performance and correct plugs are NGK BPR6ES on close to stock boost or NGK BPR7ES for higher boost levels. I order mine from Summit and they're pre-gapped at .028 even though I check them to be sure.

Hope that helps,

Andy
 
car also sounds like it may have an Air issue, check your intake to make sure their is no water init and that the air is free flowing, also check for an air leak
 
nope, mas is stock, i did manage find a bad leak around my adapter for my 1g bov so i put the 2g back in for the time being but it still jerks though not as bad.
when i would do a pull it would scratch the tires now it just start jerking, it feels like its pulling out the timing.
im goin to try fuel filter, oil change and new plugs and hopefully wires if i have enough money.
