So i was coming back from the bar the other night and i was boosting roughly around 22 pounds of boost then boost cut and the engine start slowly dying down it self so i pulled over and soon enough it dies.. and it keeps on dying so i drove it home roughly 5 blocks? (misfiring the whole time ) and now when i start it its running very rich sounds like im running cams (the misfiring) and the keep sounds like it wants to die out... plugs are burnt smells like gas help!!!!! fellow evom members!

Along the lines im thinking with the help of my friends its either the head gasket or the coil packs has jumped sparks and gone bad... i've checked the maf its on tight... im posting because i want to know if this happened to anyone else? and knows almost exactly is wrong with it... thanks:hel pme::helpm e:

 

To me it sounds like you blew a I/C pipe off...but thats pretty easy to see. Any noise or anything when it happened other than just suddenly dying? Usually a coupler or hose will let off a pretty loud pop/bang sound.

 

Since you have checked the plugs, do a compression test and leakdown if you can.

Also check that any of the hoses behind the MAF sensor are all tight. Upper pipe,Intercooler pipes,lower,etc.

 

he is right above mine did this once when i blew off a pipe and when i installed my first manifold it was not on striaght and it did the same thing. I would check the coil pack to be honest as well. i mean you only other thing you could do is do leakdown test and boost leak test of course

 

Check the lower pipes good too...jack it up

 

sounds like an intercooler pipe blowing off....sounds like all the symptoms.

 

 

Agreed happens pretty frequently on stock piping running higher boost.

 

If you get a real good one the first time it happens you let a little s**t out it scares you so bad didnt happen to me till i started getting above 24... not on stock piping though...if you are on stock piping/stock clamps this will very easily happen.

 

noobs and there massive boost leaks

 

as far as noise didnt sound like anything popped off just hitting the break wall with the boost cut but ill double check and while it was dying down only noise was the misfiring... which i worried about but idk i gota double check everything

yeah that was the next thing i was going to do as for as the maf sensor i check and it seemed tight on there but im going to double check everything thanks

yeah those are all the tests i got to run since well lets face it seems like over a dozen of things can cause this problem i really hope i just didnt blow anything -_-" i was just about to trade it in for a X too...

thank you ill be doing that on sunday

thank you

i've been running 25pounds of boost with ams flash tune and its never happened...

lol it didnt scare me but i was like ohhh thats not good but i sure scared the **** outa my girlfriend lol.... but this never happened till now but ill double check
