ok, its not a boost leak, i know that much. im thinking fuel related. . .
ok, i can get it started, then it bogs down and dies, start it again, give it a tap of gas and stays on. when i give it gas to drive, it bogs all the way down, and has died only a couple of times, rest of the time it will go back up. drives pretty much as it always has up until around 2500-2800 rpms and loses all power, just barely accelerates.i can get maybe 7-9 MPH per gear. so as you can imagine, its difficult to drive on the freeway. it just kind of putters along kinda jumpy, and i defenitly cant get any more then 3500 rpms PERIOD, even full throttle, it stops there and backfires every 15-20 seconds. boost also runs up slow, before it hits 2500 rpms it will go to about 5 lbs no problem, then up slow from there. i know i have a small boost leak somewhere becuase my car is stock and it only goes up to 10 lbs/boost. been like that since i bought the car, but ive never had a problem this bad. anyone have any idea whats wrong?
