on the way home tonight I was on the interstate... almost to the exit..I was driving it normally... I got above 4k and I heard it making the deep growling noise from the intake.. I switched into 5th gear and still heard the growl..I thought what the hell... it was only about 3k.. it shouldn't be making that growling intake sound.. slowly the power went away... then I was on the side of the road just putting along.. I coudl drive at about 10mph on the side of the road and then i'd have to let the clutch in for it to idle for a sec then I could drive a little more.. I got to the apartment entrance and then it would not go up the hill... I had to call my sis and have her tow me the rest of the way... I checked the computer and all i see is ignition signal and speed sensor.. those were there before.. couldn't be the problem.. right? I tried to rev it and it just sounded like it was bogging.. it was very not normal....like when you try to go up a hill in 4th gear and it boggs... like that kind of sound. it's bad... I haven't checked it over yet.. I'm gong to do it tomorrow.. if not, i'm going to part this darn thing out.. I'm sick of it... does anyone have any ideas?

Hmm...almosy sounds like something having to do with fuel. My old Supra did the same thing b/c there was rust, mud, and dirt in the gas tank.

Is it losing power or just making weird sounds?

run sea-foam or lucas fuel injector cleaner in your gas tank, those are the only two products that are the best for cleaning out the fuel system.

Make sure your MAF is plugged in, it may of rattled lose, but check the gas sstuff also.

+1 Seafoam kicks the ***

BTW, in the 2nd pic in your sig, what is that red car behind the green s13?
