running like crap again.

well, after many days battling a boost leak and dirty MAF, its back to running like crap again, all is good till it comes on to boost, it hitts lower boost and its sputters and misfires and feels like the boost is just escaping with out goin into the motor. but around 8-10psi it feels smooth and powerfull untill then blahhh. one of the filaments on the MAF is slightly bent i think i may have damaged it putting it back togtehr, tomorrow ill try a MAf from a CA18ET and see it if works better, and im goin to take my Alternator back to the store to see if its not producing enough voltage to power the coils fully, also checking and probably replacing my plugs again. then check my BOV to make sure its not sticking open or opening on boost. all this after it ran flawlessly last saturday when we were doing alot of racing now im just hoping to have it running good again before satnight so i can get some races in.

Kinda like what mine is doing.....

Do you think that ghetto *** positive battery clip has anything to do with my setup? Pretty much the only thing that I haven't changed.

Mine sputters under crusing conditions. Like when i want to stay at a constant speed. The car starts sputtering. But when i give it a bit more gas, it goes away

yeah mine was doin that also, its a boost leak maybe or your car maybe a little on the lean side. does your maf have an adjustment screw you can see? if you see the screw then your MAF has been adjusted before

mine has decided it doesnt want to idle when you take load off the engine..it sputters and almost dies, but then goes back up to a low idle. other than that, it seems to be fine.

every one clean your MAFS !!! im getting too much oil in my breather tubes and that is getting on the MAF at higher RPMs which i like to drive in 3rd alot... so today i started project catch can ! but seems to solved my problems once again!

drity mafs will cause all the idle and drivability problemns
