The reason we are being so hard is cause he wont check the freqin things! Hes actually going to park it and wait!!! Its a 15min job but hey this thread is way off topic anyway.

I don't c why not let the mechanic do it for free anyways since he has the proper tools to test spark plugs and I don't. Im pretty sure I can sit and wait till monday as its like 2 days away.

Wierdest thing happened last night though. Was driving over with my friend to his house and I have just been using the car as transportation and to get to work. So I have been driving it really slow and never using boost. So he like its really messed up huh, And im like yup I step on it too show him but the wierdest thing happened it like started boosting actually right. . So I take it out on the highway and it starts boosting like crap and kicking and sputering and doing its stupid ass gay thing. So when im on the way home to drop him off I hit boost again and it boost perfectly normal. I could c my friend smiling and he says this feels like when u first bought the car. It felt so amazing I had forgot what perfect boost felt like the car felt like a rocket ship once again. So after I drop him off I go around boosting somemore and its boosting great. Then after 10 min it starts kicking and overboosting and acting gay again. I don't get wtf is up with this thing. Mabye god decide to give me a little taste of what happines then make then engine go fucked up again. For a mintute I though it fixed it self as for the last 2 weeks before this I couldn't hit boost no matter what and it would go all crazy. And then today when I was heading to the shop to go and fix my window and trunk lock I noticed the check engine light come on. So i pull some codes and get code 31 again. Reset the ECU and start it up again and it starts but dies. start up again starts idels rought for a bit and dies. Try like 4 or 5 time and on the 5 time it starts to run wonderful again. The whole time that the car was ideling bad and diening the check engine light was coming on. IT once again gave me code 31. I figured the rough ideling and dieing was becauses i resest the ECU and it need time to re adjust it self again. SO really this is all a big ass messes. My guess is my AFM senson is on the wack. Oh well Me and some friends are planing a trip down to amigos in stoon anyways im sure we can pick up some parts there is needed.

The Juggernaut has my old
could be a boost leak that has gotten worse or afm... i knew something was wrong due to the gtec numbers.

I used a gtec on my supra last summer i had 2 1/2 exhaust with no precat K&N intake shimmed wastegate to 9.5 psi to 10 psi and the numbers were

0-60 5.7
1/8th mile 9.3@76


took my car to the 8th mile track next day and ran 9.5@76mph spinning. if it would have hooked on the track as good as it hooked on the road it would have ran a 9.3 no problem so gtec's are pretty accurate...

good luck and keep us updated.

A Boost leak tester is being built as we speak. So as soon as thats done i'll test it out. And if its not boost leak that will cross 1 of 3 things off the list. Then next I move to spark plugs and wires(wich i plan on doing anyways). Though plugs and wires will have to wait as im majorly strapped for cash right now.
