So today i was getting ready to go home from work. It's raining out and ugly weather at about 2 degrees celcius so it's rather cold so i decided to let my car warm up for 10 minutes or so. I started driving and about 2 kms down the road i hit a red light. While idling suddenly the CEL flew on and it started revving at about 600-700 RPM (Usually sits at 1100 RPM). It sounded like it wanted to die and is was just kinda bogging. When the light went green i just took off like i normally would and the problem dissapeared as did the CEL but it seems like i have a lot of boost lag at first now cause when i ease on the gas it feels like it's holding back and then finally the boost kicks in and it flies.

Would this mean there is a boost leak somewhere or maybe does this possibly mean something with the throttle system?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
 
mine was doing this, the cel was going away after i restarted it. im hoping its a boost leak since i found a bad hose clamp on it but im taking it for a ride to see WTF
 
it was my spark plugs and my idle control valve took it out and cleaned it and changed my spark plugs and it was fine

another thing how do i post my own posting
