#11094, "Whats going on here!?!? Boost Leak or something else???"


          

Lately when the car is cold, (like its 10 degrees outside and the car was sitting there all nite), and i start to drive it, if i push on the gas at all, the car slows down, the more i push the slower it goes. I'm thinking i have a boost leak somewhere. Maybe the stock bov is stuck open when its cold ?? and if im driving, and i can feel the car lagging as i push the gas, then all of a sudden, bam, the boost kicks in and the car starts accelerating like normal. Once it warms up, everythigns fine, runs like a champ. Besides the bov, i was thinking maybe a sensor is messing up because its so cold??

When your car is cold, the ECU enriches the air fuel mixture to assist in engine warmup. Could be that you're just running rich until the car warms up..

But then the ECU just suddenly snaps it back to normal? But after this it could happen again if the car is still cold, and while kidna bogging or whatever it might just suddenly start accelerating like normal. I guess ill see if its the bov when i put on the new ic pipes and 1g bov in a few days.
