Maybe nothing. A lot of times just tightening the clamps can fix a boost leak. If its a bad coupler leaking then Idk maybe like $20-$30 for a new coupler.

 

Bad tps also can cause you bucking/jerking,bouncy idle and engine cut off while driving.

 

alright so the problem has been found, one of the couplers on the intake side of the MAF was not on all the way, and there is a break in the wiring going from the MAF to the ECM, which is causing the MAF to run in limp mode. the wire is reading anywhere from 20 ohms to 6,000 ohms. so im just gonna run a new wire through.

 

MAF cars are a pain in the ***

 

Maf wiring issue and a boost leak, sounds familiar lol. Congrats OP on finding your issue.

 

Haha thanks, now if I can just figure out how to run a new wire I'll be set

 

Just run a jumper wire for it. The wires are all color coded and can be traced back to the ecu with that color. As far as where to run the wire into the cabin do NOT shove it through the wire harness on the firewall. If you rip through the rubber there you will tear up a bunch of other wires and be in a **** storm of trouble. There is a grommet behind the passenger side strut tower that you can pop out and get the wire into the cabin there without messing anything else up. I had a couple wires that were shorting out too a year ago but I actually put an entirely new wire harness on the car to fix it. You don't have to do it that way obviously and is very labor intensive.

 

Awesome thank you I'll give it a shot
