Hey, guys i need help. I drove my car about 120 miles today within like 2 hrs, and after i got home and dropped some stuff off my car started to bog after i started up my car again. I ran like crap. It kept on bogging but wouldnt stall. CEL is flashing and on. Now 8 hrs later, i start up the car again. The car run better almost natural, but the cell is still flashing. Any ideas guys? Also my frined noticed my exhaust got louder. The catback exhaust is 6 months old.

 

some thing just came in my head. What happens when the turbo dies? the car still run?

 

maybe your flex coupler broke.. that happened to me.. exhaust got loud.. and I had no power... that would also cause your EGR valve to have an insuffecient flow.. and that would trip your CEL

 

whats a flex coupler?

 

the part of your exhaust that is somewhat flexible.. right after the downpipe it goes to the main exhaust pipe

 

hmm lol i did bottom out my car twice 2 day. wil the damage be noticable visually?

 

just fixed the bogging issue. I had a misfire on cylinder # 3. Swapped coil packs to #4 and 4 to #3 cylinder, still didnt work. Then changed spark plug stil lthe same. Finally chnaged ICM. Indeed the ICM was teh fix. Just a resolved issuse for you guys to see.

 

im a dumb kid.......what is an ICM?

 

It's when you bring back a post from the dead...


















LOL...I'm guessing it means Ignition Control Module
