Ok it all started when i THINK i nearly ran outta gas. The car bucked and hesitated when i let go of the clutch and then would die if i let go of the throttle. BARELY RUNNING i Rolled it right into the station, filled it up. RAN FINE!!

On the highway a few miles later, i would floor it and it would BARELY rev past 3-4k and idle/RPM's would drop or die when i tried to let off the clutch. The engine could not even make the car go and had NO POWER!! Pulled over, checked it all out. Started it. Revved it. Drove home running 14psi and beatin the hell out of it just fine!!

Any answers?? I was thinkin air in the fuel lines or boost leak. PLEASE HELP.

do this. disconnect your negative terminal on your battery to reset the ECU. it's probably still on "save my freaking as$ from lack of fuel" mode
