So the CA is in my new 240. It drives fine for about 20 minutes, but after it's been warm for a while it will just bog when i give it gas. I can figure out why. It will run fine and then bog. It like a boost leak kind of feeling. I have an extra igniter, should i try throwing that on? Could it be the injector resistor or the coils? It seems like something may be getting too hot.

I replaced the ignitor today and I'm still getting the same issue. When the car is warm and been driven for a while, sometimes I'll hit the gas and it will fall dead on it's butt like there's a boost leak. If it WAS a boost leak wouldn't it display this behavior all the time? Anyone have anything similar happen to them before?

could be leaking someplace where a hose or such has to heat up before it leaks.. like a crack at the end of a hose or something..
