:( whats up ? my bad if i posted in the wrong section... but i ran into a problem today ... i have a 97 kouki with the IAP stage 1 turbo kit .. and basically i was driving on the highway at speed limit 65mph.. and then i decided to push the car a bit when i hit 80mph my car started hesistating a little but went away after a few seconds.. after about 10 min of driving it stopped .. so i got around my area and stopped at my pep boys to pick up cleaning supplies..so i go in for like 5 min and come out and start my car .. immediately the hesistation starts and so im driving slow and decided to floor it a bit my car is sounding like an STI now , yea its cool to sound like tha tbut its like the car is studdering as its moving .. i cant figure out what it could be .. do any of you have an idea.. i did smell alot of gas from my car after i got it home.. any suggestions ??

sounds like you might've popped it. Do an compression test and tell us the results. What are you using for fuel and managment?

sounds like a boost leak?

your braking up/misfiring?

pull your plugs, see what cylinder it is go from there..

no smoke?

Sounds like a valve is bent?! Yeah, compression test that thing. Fuel management? High flow fuel pump or stock? Good luck on your diagnosis!

with work being bz and all i havent had a chance until today to look at some things.. i pulled all my plugs and they were all fried as well as my IGN fuse in my fuse box.. i noticed oil was on 2 of my plugs.. and im fearing the worst... the car struggles to accelerate .. when the car is just started it idles fine and tehre is no problems with the spuddering when i press the gas , but as soon as i start driving for 2 min it starts kinda sputtering and is hard to accelerate :confused::confused:

Def. doesn't sound good, it's getting oil somehow into the Combustion Chamber, meaning it's either rings/pistons or valve seals.
