Just because you get full boost doesn't mean you don't have a leak.

I'd take a look at your plugs and see what color they are. Also, if you have more than about 30k miles on them, replace them. If you are using anything lower than 91octane, I'm sure the knock sensor is comming into play here.

i think its the spark plugs..because when i bought the car it had a stage 4 turbo but they had to replace everything because of the warranty.....and i use 91 gas...

An agp s4 kit? And they took it all off? Also, for fyi...plugs should be changed around 10k not 30(be sure to check your gapping every oil change or so).

10k if you are running anything above a s1 kit. Otherwise 15-20k is fine.

Do this, find your throttle body which is down low between the engine and radiator. Find the TPS harness which plugs into it. It should have 3 wires if I can remember right. Anyhoo, when you find it, start the car. With it idling, wiggle that harness. If the engine RPM's change even slightly you have the common TPS harness failure problem. There's a TSB on it from Dodge.

Know though, that doesn't work in every situation. Mine had the tps problem and no matter what you would do with the wires nothing would change the rpms.
Have you been gapping the plugs correctly when you have been changing them? What are you gapped at? Should be around .035 or less since I'm uncertain of your mods.

It has worked everytime I've stated it on the srtforums.com site. It worked for me as well. Also, I wouldn't recomend a gap of .035 if you don't know what all he's running including what plugs. There was a TSB for a plug change so the gap amount also changed.

OK that's probably one of your problems. Good ole copper cores seem to work the best. That's what they call for from the factory. Back when I had bucking problems and such I had put a set of platnums in it. After changing back to copper core and get MOPAR performance plug wires seemed to help a lot. Then later I found it was the MAS harness.

Mas?

OOPS! I meant the TPS sensor or throttle position sensor harness and not the MAS.

Yeah, never ever use platinum plugs on a turbocharged car.
The guys at autozone always used to insist giving them to me, and I pretty much had to pull their teeth to get them to order me the set I wanted.

Well those guys at the Zone only know what the computer or "Bible" tells them. Outside of that they normally barely function in society.
