To start I have the 2000 180 fwd. It has 188k new tranny clutch spark plugs air filter just got my oil changed. I have the forge bov/dv and it always it's filthy seems like brown liquid comes out it that supposed to happen? Now the big problem I have a boost gauge and mainly first gear if I go to step on it the boost goes up but the car doesn't pull like it use to. Then in just about every gear if I try to go fast it will go then sputter then go full power why could this be?

 

Did you gap the spark plugs correctly?

 

the "brown stuff" is oil. if you want that to go away get a catch can.
how much boost are you runnning, and how much vac do you have at idle?
the sputter... check if your plugs are gapped correctly. check for rotten/torn hoses for vac leaks, make sure you put the maf back on correctly and you can also try cleaning the maf.

 

I am boosting at 10-9 psi. my plugs are gaped at .32 NGk v-power. i just put in a cone filter on my intake today (sounds so Sick) my mechanic changed most of my boost lines recently ..Does that help?

 

make sure you didnt put ur maf on backwards.

 

No its been sputtering for a while ill have to check all my lines tomorrow if anyone else has any idea im more then willing to hear thanks guys.

 

unhook ur maf and see if it runs any differently.

 

hey guys my car just stolled and barely started back up ...

 

did you try unhooking your maf to see if it runs differently?

 

Mine did something simular. I would just change the maf. I bet your new air filter is "oiled" and the oil wrecked your maf sensor. Ditch the filter and replace your maf.
