The problem starting happening the other day. When my car is fully warmed up, she drives really sluggish, shes running really rich, and the turbo spools up really slowly. It feels like im driving a n/a. Theres no power. I've also noticed on a cold start though she runs perfect. On a cold start she spools up really fast, pulls hard, and i can really feel the power. One more thing to add is that after shes fully warmed up, i noticed that my upper and lower radiator hoses are rock hard and boiling hot. Theres no bubbling in my coolant overflow tank from it getting so hot. i tested for boost leaks like everyone will tell me and i have small leaks at my tb and biss screw (ive had those ever since ive own the car going on 2 years now. i know i need to fix them) Can someone point me in the right direction. someone told me it could be my coolant temp sensor but i dont know why this would make me run rich, spool slow, and loose power when shes fully warmed up.
I drive a 1998 gst sypder a/t, evo III 16g turbo running 10psi, stock fuel system, coil on plugs, 16g exhaust manifold, 3 inch apexi turbo back exhaust, greddy type s recirculating, stock sidemount.
