he means get your compreession checked... to see if your motor is damaged. get a real boost gauge, and get rid of the intake asap.. that should help you fix the problem.

 

my friends had the same exact problem ill ask what he did

 

alright ill call my dealer and see about a comp check or is that something i could do myself

 

thanks evo il8

 

compression check is easy. you can buy the testor from your local autoparts store for around 20 bucks. take out 1 spark plug and screw the testor in that hole. pull your fuel injector fuse. get someone to get into your car and turn the key while holding the accelorator ON THE FLOOR. turn the motor over about 5 times and right down the number that your testor gives you.

for most accurate results, do this with warm motor. if you do it with a cold motor, it will read low.

 

Thanks im gonna try it this weekend

 

Oh, as a clarification, pull out all 4 spark plugs when you're doing the test (the engine will spin easier since it won't be fighting compression in those other cylinders), and mark them as to which cylinder they go back into so you don't mix them up.
