could life get worse
ok yea it could. but i went drving my stealth today(get my lisence back on the 8th) and i was going down the road in 2nd gear, rpm=2500. i hit the gas knowing full well that the turbo's would kick in within milliseconds...and nothing. it delayed a good 1,500rpm. and even at that it only showed that it went up to 0psi. then wen coming back i went down a hill in N. the tach dropped to 500rpm, and the car started bucking. basically it seemed like wat the tach was reading and what the car was doing was completely different.
wat could b possibly wrong with my car now...short list, i'm thinking cam sensor or ecu is a possibility. anything i should consider other than fixing that damned thing and selling it? note: both the ecu and cam sensor were replaced on Sept. 17 this yr. the ecu was bought from a dealer, and the sensor was brought in from a japanesse company the mechanic dealt with.

Re: could life get worse

Re: could life get worse
idk, how can i test for misfire? is there a way?
i did hit the rev limiter once...while in Va, but the car ran fine on the 500mile trip home and any where else it's been. the gas in the car is about a 1.5 months old, could that cause issues? the exhaust is starting to smell, like shit gas. i wanna fill the tank but dont have the money...i will on friday tho. and the car has been sitting basically since oct. 6 without uch driving. my dad drove me to work in on friday(ricers went and hid in their lil hondas) and it felt fine except he sux at 5spd.

Re: could life get worse
I'd change the plugs and look for boost leaks. Are you getting a check engine light?
