[RESOLVED] builds boost but isnt moving NEED HELP!!!!!

[bjbaxter]

yo guys,

So i'm having this problem with my 98 GST and its really starting to pi$$ me off to no end. it just started the other day and gradually got worse. when im driving the car, the motor builds boost and all (i hear the turbo and BOV) but the car just doesnt move, it feels like there is no power to the car at all. i know for a fact that its not the clutch/flywheel ect. im not sure if it could be a clogged cat or what, everything i can think of has been replaced in the past 100 miles (plugs, wires, coil packs, 1g CAS sensor) please give me any/all ideas that you guys have!! thanks a lot

I have b een experiencing the same thing. I checked my timing belt it has like 3/4inch play just between the cam gears. Also my boost is dropping off real bad at high rpms. Is it time for a new belt and tensioner?Does anyone think i jumped a couple teeth

well the timing belt is pretty much brand new, the motor has less than 15,000 miles on it so i think im in the clear there

Then something made it jump, and if you don't find/fix it...you're gonna be doing it all again and probably dealing with bent valves next time
