Hello,
First of all, I do not have a dsm (please don't stop reading this post now!) I have an evo, but you all seem to have more experience with troubleshooting. I haven't had any luck on evom with this problem yet.
My car has been down on power, I'd say about 20%. I had the car dynoed to prove it. I took it to a professional well known tuner shop to be boost leak tested. I also did a boost leak test myself. It seemed to loose boost pressure quickly, but I could not hear any leaks. Is there any way that a boost or vacuum leak might be missed on a boost leak test? Where? a/f seems to be almost 10% off. (leak?) STFT is between 5-20% - usually 10-15ish, and ltft is 10-15% usually. (leak?) I had a couple misfires, and I have some knock - high only once in a while.
Shop did not know what the source of the problem was.
I have boost leak tested - ok.
Taken out turbo- ok.
compression - ok.
a/f - not rich or lean enough to be an issue, but seems to be 10% richer than the MAP. I don't think there is a fueling problem. This is with a wideband.
coils/wires/plugs - replaced.
no codes
logs look fine except for a high boost error - sometimes max, and high stft and ltft, and occasional high counts of knock
no exhaust leaks
If you know anything that could potentially be helpful please let me know!
