hey, i have the same problem, if u figure out whats wrong, lemme know
it runs like crap right?
and doesnt start sometimes?
smoke out of the exhaust?

i think its the ecu, but lemme know
 
yea it has thos sipmtoms but i already checked my ecu and it looks good. but ill let u know if i fix it soon. thanks
 
Make sure timing is correct. If you are unsure, get a second opinion from someone who has had experience. Its common for timing to be done incorrectly, and you have a loss of vacuum. Make sure MAF is plugged in and you have no boost leaks.
 
did timing like 3 times its good, maf is pluged in and did a boost test it was good no leaks.
 
What ever happened ? Did you guys fix your problems?
Let me know I'm having the same problem vac around -8 -10 with the same problems

Thanks
