well see this is the problem... i start in first gear and i can build like 3 pounds then the car like bucks and it feels like the engine just shuts off and it does it over and over again... then second gear i cant build any boost what so ever without that thing happening and then 3rd it happens sometimes but usually 3rd through 5th i can build the normal amount of boost....so if anyone knows what could be the problem then please let me know.. thanks
somethings wrong... any ideas?
- Thread starter peachtits
- Start date
well thanks and i will check that in the morning
Also is your CEL coming on when it bucks?
what is that?

that is the check engine light....if it comes on when it bucks, you are hitting fuel cut. It should go back out immediatly after. If it stays on .... it could be knock sensor related.
nope that doesnt come on... just fucken bucks like shit... and it had to start happening badly when i was just about to race a srt-4... and got embarassed when i stepped on it and my front end just dropped and starting bucking..
Well, that means either it's not fuel cut... or your CEL is burned out. 
Check for codes... go find Shaeff's signature for the link, it's late and I don't remember it off the top of my head right now.

alright... im pissed...ran checked the codes which told me the problem was the afm... so i got myself a good afm and it did absolutly nothing... and it still bucks like hell and still have trouble gettin in started.. also checked all my IC pipes and there all good so as for now im stumped
wait a minute... if it doesnt turn over, that has NOTHING to do with the AFM. thats either a grounding issue, or a starter issue, or the stock alarm system has gone haywire.
if the stock alarm has decided to shit the bed, here are a couple of options:
here's a little background on the stock alarm system, known as the TDS. (theft deterrant system) when you lock the door with the key, it sets the alarm on the car. if you try to open the door, and succeed in doing so without the key, the alarm will sound. this goes for the hood, trunk, and both doors. sometimes the sensors in any of the aforementioned places goes bad, causing the alarm to malfunction. here are some ways of fixing it, without actually getting new sensors. (i recommend a good aftermarket alarm system anyway)

grounds. check all your grounds. make sure that your battery terminals are clean and corrosion-free. make sure the chassis ground is good and corrosion free, as well as the block/engine ground. troubleshooting with a multimeter on voltage/continuity check would aid in finding the problem.
make sure that small brown wire is connected to the starter. it's a spade connector, male end that plugs into the starter. this is for the stock alarm system. (all it does when it is set off, is flash the lights, beep the horn, and kill the starter) if your car is a manual, you can help narrow it down by trying to pop start it. (even if the alarm has disengaged the starter, you'll still be able to pop start it)
OR, try to put a battery charger on there, and start it. if that doesnt work, then you're probably looking at starter replacement. good luck!

well it just doesnt fire.. itll turn over and keep turning over for ever just wont start.. and ill get lucky sometimes and itll fire but it still bucks... so i gotta couple problems to try to work out... ill try those things and see what happens
well actually i figured it out... my gas gauge is apparently broken... cause i tapped on the gas tank and she was empty... so thats apparently why it didnt start(smart move by me) and i guess theres some bad shit in the bottom of my gas tank which made my car run like horse shit... so i filled her up and she runs like a champ now...
Heh... now that's interesting.
