I love you guys.

I love you guys...no homo. You all help me out a lot!
I've got something else I need help with.
I can't get my car to go past 5 mph. Any ideas?
Clutch related?
Timing related?
I did get it out of my garage. Got it up my driveway. But so slow. Even tried 2nd gear.
I wanna lean on timing somewhere. Bc when I even put foot on gas, nothing really happened.

 

[IndigoMKII]

Any check engine lights?
Checked static timing with the t1/e1 jumped?
Is this turbo or non-turbo?

 

[mcammarn]

No codes.
This is a 57ct26
I did check timing prior to this happening, but literally the timing light just broke. It's pretty old.lol
Base timing and ignition

What's your fuel pressure? To make sure you don't have a clogged line or something..

I know when my afm went bad, I couldn't touch the gas at all or it would bog, but this would throw a code.

Do you have a coupling that came off? Is the throttle linkage still attached?

 

[mcammarn]

Fuel pressure at 34psi
Throttle still attached. I moved it in and out of my garage.
And what coupling you talking about?

 

[IndigoMKII]

Um, intercooler couplings?

Check intercooler piping for leaks, also check to see if your AFM is working properly. Did you work on it before this started happening, or did it just start out of nowhere? Also to help with anything else list all mods done and some more symptoms you are noticing. is it idling odd, or starting hard and so on.

Well just started this up after 9 months of rebuilding.
Didn't check to see if Afm was bad. But before engine rebuild I didn't have this problem.
I'll check the I.c pipes when I get off work.
My mods are as followed:
57 ct26
Upper I.c pipes
Lexus Afm with 560inj
3in down pipe back
Afpr set to 34 psi

I've got other things I need to put on for my setup:
Hks evc6
Safc2
Wideband

You may raise your fuel pressure. That seems a bit low. I believe stock is 43.5 or so, but I don't really think that is where the problem is at. I am going to go with its either the AFM or intercooler pipe is leaking somewhere. Are you getting any check engine light codes?

Some other things it may be
Clogged cat (not too likely)
Fuel system clogged (I would think this could be it also. Check filter, and the little filter on the pump)

 

[mcammarn]

I also forgot to mention, and I'm going to lean on the I.c pipes somewhere, but I do hear like a howl, like air,when I try to give it gas. But I thought it was the apexi intake. But looking at it from the help I got here, I.c? Ill check it out later

 

[mcammarn]

So you guys were indeed correct. The lower section of the I.c came off the turbo somehow. But got it back on there now. Thanks again guys!

Fuel pressure is anywhere from 33-40 for a 7mgte and a faulty AFM would of caused a check engine light.

Clogged fuel filter would of also caused abnormal fuel pressure.

On a side note, glad you figured it out mcammarn, told you to check that intercooler piping.

Thanks again!
I'm just so relieved now, after 9 months of waiting.
But I think in going to raise fuel pressure to 36.

As I said, "I believe fuel pressure is 43.5" that means I thought it was but not sure. And the CEL doesn't always come on when the AFM is unplugged. It will after a while, I think when you rev it.

Also a clogged fuel filter may still let it build up the pressure at idle and run normal, but it could cause it to fall on its face once throttle is applied.
