Check for leaks in your intercooler piping.. Sounds like you could've popped a coupler loose.

^ exactly that has happened to me a couple times... SO check your piping as well as your hot pipe.

You can check this, usually when this happens it smells like fart or rotten eggs. Idk why, but it just does lol.

Also, have you checked your spark plugs lately? Check to make sure that there is no oil/gasoline flooding those babies. Are they at the correct gap?

When you turn the key to the ON position, can you hear the fuel pump relay kick on and a buzzin sound from the fuel pump itself? Check to make sure your fuel pump is working. Also, check the fuse to make sure it has not blown out.

Check your MAF wiring and make sure that has not been unplugged.

when it first happened i checked maf the fuses by habit then sparks which i do monthly just to make sure there is no leaks of oil they are gapped correctly and it was the piping which i didnt even think to check but thanks for the help and reply idk why but i cant find the thanks button on this forum is there one ?
