I have searched threw here and still lost.

My eagle was fine at 750-900rpms

I installed my boost gauge, i tapped into the FPS.

When i first start up idle is normal, and then going somewhere and putting it in park it jumps up to 1200/1400, im like this is not normal, so when i get home i adjust the biss?? and it drops back down.

Now i have put together some ideas but want others opions.

1, got a leak around the T for the boost controler
2, my Biss screw is trying to take a vaction
3, i need a tune up
 
- Perfom a full tune up which include new fuel filter, plugs, etc.

- Replace the BISS screw and gasket:

- Have the throttlebody / combustion chamber cleaned at mitsubishi ( I paid $49 with a coupon two years ago.)

- If the problem gradually gets worst, the TPS will have to be looked at.

- Make sure the "T" fitting is on securely and connected like this:

- If you car has more than 90k miles on it I would replace ALL vacuum hoses:

Changed Plugs but still runs like pooh :mad: i have to order new wires. And know one around me knows any thing about the fuel filter, and where its at, im not willing to take a stab at it and screw it up, so it might go to the dealer to get a tune up. I realy dont want to do that. I hate this i finaly get the CEL off and now it starting to run like pooh.... :( :confused:

I'd start looking at this Boost Gauge install FIRST.

I installed it as per RRE website. here are the pics of it.
 
BINGO! - In general dude - if you do something & something weird starts happening you look back at what you did last - You don't go off on tangents...

Zip ties with a small plastic hose? your asking for a vacuum leak.

Use the associated brass fittings, to clamp out the plastic hose into a brass fitting nipple type, so you can use regular hosing on.

.........^brass nipple found at kragen/home depot, threads into fittings, adds nipple for hose.
 
Ok, Ic how every one once it done, I have some shopping to do, but i feel nothing and hear nothing coming from there so i dont know, but ill give it a shot, beats having my fuel filter done right now,but ill give it ago..
 
just got done getting new vac line, dissconected the hole thing, and ran a new line in its place, still does the same thing, just a miss here, and a studer here, the same with our with out the boost gauge, Im smelling fuel, so im pointing my finger at the stock oem looking fuel filter, ill order one from conicelli...
