So i was driving today taking it easy and when i step on the gas i felt like i lost all power from the engine, and then when i am at idle it keeps dropping to like 500 and going back up to 1000 multiple times until it comes back up to regular idle. What do you guys think is wrong?

 

did you hear anything pop when you "stepped on it"?

 

+1...check for IC pipes blown off at IC or the BOV...if they blew off at the IC then your car would barely want to move at all...if it blew off at the BOV you would still be able to drive it out of boost but wouldnt have any power in boost

 

Sounds like an intercooler hose blew off (most likely at the throttle body) or the maf is unplugged.

 

sucks that ur having problems with ur car. seems like every little thing. check all ur hoses. see if any is loose.

 

it could also be a plug pack besides the IC piping

 

It was a loose coupler...all fixed.

 

^called in the big guns?

 

sweet, im just glad it was such an easy repair

 

nice glad you found the problem. I figured it way have been the IC piping. I've had my lower intercooler pipe blow off twice. Once on the dyno and one time on the road.

 

ya it was the ic pipe just came loose been happening at different spots since i got my new clutch on and they had to take thoughs parts off but its all fixed and running like a champ!!!

 

Isn't that so fun when that happens? T-bolt clamps fix that problem!

 

ya i need to get some of thoughs! Do you know where i can pick some up? I went to autozone they dont have them!

 

That is true for everyone except if you're me lol. I had a t-bolt clamp blow off twice and they were tighten all the way Thank god i'm mafless and can limp it to a garage to fix it

 

dont bother buying.

you will get nice t bolt clamps when you upgrade your intercooler pipings.

i had the same problem like you. at first, my licp blew while on the highway otw to work. i was soo scared and my gf too. i had it towed back to our place. then the second time, the uicp blew off from the throttle body. then it happed multiple times. i got so sick of it, i changed the t bolt clamp on the throttle body twice because i keep loosing them. then, the factory pos rubber became really worn with hairspray and tighten/blowing everyfreaking time.

i decided thats it. i went with a brand new ETS UICP that came with sweet clamps/couplers bought from another member. I also had ETS LICP sitting in my room that also has a sweet clamp/couplers. i never had another intercooling blowing off after the ETS upgrade.
