This morning as I was on my way into work, I started the car and all was fine. But as I started to back out of my driveway the car nearly stalled and didn't like me only feathering the throttle. I had to sort of blip or over-throttle to keep it from stalling. WTF?

So I get over this problem and chalk it up to a cold start.

As I'm on the highway I try to accel quickly to pass a car, and BAM hit limp mode or something as my (stock) boost gauge hits 1.4 bar. WTF?

I've recently had a bit of a wandering idle and sometimes in between shifts my RPM's wouldn't drop quickly, but nothing that majorly affected my driving ability. This one does.

My first guess is faulty CV or TPS, any other suggestions?

I recently got some bad gas, must have drained the stations tank, same problem except the RPM between shifts. Nearly got passed by a minivan

 

Could be your tps...but also check the bypass valve diaphram....

 

Thanks guys, unfortunately I won't be able to really dig into it until this weekend - looks like I'm just going to have to make it work until Friday.

 

Check your couplers, you might have ripped one or came loose.

 

Just got a call from Zims, they're replacing the FPR ($235) and if that doesn't fix it then the TPS ($315).

 

Turns out it was a faulty FPR...

 

Interesting. Glad you got it sorted out! BTW: I will be home on the 8th.

 

FPR was $235? A 3 bar one is $80 and takes less than 5 minutes to replace...

 

Good point! I didn't even make that connection!...I need coffee...
