Would a boost leak cause this?????

[newdude1]

Well I just got my front end on and was really excited to get the car on the road after having some troubles. I start going down the street and right after 2k rpms my car starts jerking really bad. So I slowly go back down my street and get to my house and let the car idle. It idles perfectly. I tried reving the motor up but it starts breaking up after 2grand. Can a boost leak cause this? Or something else??

yes it can, i had almost the same symptoms and fixed mine (intercooler coupling was not tight and adjusted enough). the mass air flow could also be an issue so check that as well.....goodluck getting it fixed

Ya im gonna check everything tomorrow. Hopfully its something simple like that.

k now the symtoms are the I cant rev past 2k rpms and its not hold idle. It just dies.

Sounds like either a MAFS problem, or a boost leak.

Ya ended up being a boost leak at the intercooler.
