Have you checked the timing recently?

[RedSuns]

what are your plugs gapped to?

[s14 blacktop]

do you have a aftermarket BOV is recirculated?

[s14 blacktop]

oh yeah I forgot to ask you if you tried resetting your ECU, unplug the battery + cable for about 5 min and after that see if it still acts up!

and it also sounds like your spark plugs arent gapped correctly they should be at .9 mm

[dct223]

speed sensor hooked up?? it has to be for vtc to work... also did u check the condition of ur turbo?

[TurK]

"Have you checked the timing recently?" - OK me and my buddy kind of knew this had to do with it for a while now...and finally got around it....and yes it helpd a lot...thankyou for the suggestion=D

"what are your plugs gapped to?" -Just checkd to see if they were gappd right...and no..it is now at .033 (shoud be lower tho .028?

"do you have a aftermarket BOV is recirculated?" - Been talkin about this...and looks like we gona get to it...i have the HKS SSQV...what is the best thing to use to re-circ it?

what are u using for a mafs, do u have a safc? i know when it was about freezing outside mine cut out at about full boost because my mafs was messing up because i never changed my safc since it was warm. do u have a good air/fuel guage. i have a aem eugo and its helps me alot on the street. i think u have a tuning problem

gap to .026-.028

[TurK]

mine are at .032....woud gaping them down the .028 help that much?

[sr240mike]

hmm, if it sounds like a revlimiter at 5k I would check codes. A sensor may be loose too.

[Siizzzoooo]

plugs might be fowled.

Mine has similar symtoms. I got the NKG platinums, 1 step colder

Ran harder and faster then ever before. gapped at 30

Do you have an upgrader fuel pump? FPR?

[racer98]

do you have a aftermarket BOV is recirculated?


Could the location of the BOV be a part of the problem ?

[BoroBoroS13]

To recirc the HKS BOV just buy the recirc fitting from HKS or wherever for $20 and run some tubing to your intake.

hmmm welll i reset my ecu by unplugin my battery for 5min....the next day i drove the car...the clutch was all different? wth? it felt good tho...i dont think reseting had anything to do with it but yeah....and over alll the car was smoother....so far soo good...
