ok this just started yesterday, and the forums were down......when i get on the gas, after 4k rpm the car "boged" down.....wtf is this.....the last engine upgrade i did was almost a month ago, and that was the header (kamikazi) why is myu car doing this!!!

 

maybe the injectors are dirty???? 6600 miles and i have never put in that injector cleaner........CAI?????? Help please

 

Any rain? drastic weather changes? My car drives totally different in hot than cool (expected) but the difference was way noticable after header install. How bogged does it get? Does it stop from getting up into the 5000 rpm range? In any gear?

 

i think the same **** happens to me...i got a lil over 28,000 ready for a full tune up...=)

 

yes, it totaly boged down like right after 5k........and yes it is raining here (florida, what do ya expect in the summer LOL) what do u think it is....its almost like it redlines b4 the redline.....u know what i mean???

 

make sure you guys are changing your tranny fluid around 18000....makes a world of difference.

 

im in miami... this **** is gay, ive had many problems with my lancer. i got it the day it came out and payed a heavy price for it...

 

ive done everything, not through mitsu though, they cost too much...i got this jamaican dood that worked on evo's in jamaica. he knows much...

 

ok this is getting OT......i need help on my problem.....i wish someone like pjal or rock was on to help.....im just dumbfounded, i have no clue why it is doing this

 

I dunno, but I'd suggest taking it to a mech and having them take a look at it. Unless you feel like going to the dealership or going bone stock and playing stupid. No diagnosis, but two possible solutions.

 

I'm leaning toward dirty injectors if it's bogging. Might not be getting enough "go juice". Hm...that could be bad to since it'd indicate you'd be running lean perhaps. Then there's that whole Florida humidity factor.

 

Usually the ECU will adjust VERY quickly though. Like Cliff said...approx 100 highway miles and everything will correct itself. Damn thing's too smart. Gonna take over the world.

 

Or get a S-AFC

 

i was wondering if i should get one of those...i was about to get a gst before i saw all the problems it had...and all my friends were telling me that the first thing i should get for it was a s-afc. i know it controls the fuel ratio and some other stuff, can some one explain the GREAT S-AFC??

 

For a GS-T, an AFC would be useful since a turbo would get a lot better benefits. However, on an NA car like the Lancer, unless you have some more substantial mods (all the basic bolt-ons +) an AFC is doing you little good than just looking pretty.
