Along with losing the pulse the temp and alternator light come on just before it dies. It idles fine,as you accelerate it loses pulse and thats when the lights come on and it dies,before it dies if you let of the accelerator it idles fine and the lights go out.No codes,scanner says ok to drive.

It was the plastic idler pulley,the bearings seized and the belt destroyed it!


boostedpb03

I went to a friends house last night and the car was running fine was getting full boost,on my way home the boost gauge would not go past -2 psi and for obvious reasons had lost what feels like a ton of power.

Any suggestions to the culprit are appreciated.

Was it the rubber tee itself, or one of the plastic lines that connects to it?

Yes it was the tee itself, it was rotted and broke apart easily.




No mods other than a drop in K&N filter and a gutted air box,visual mods include tinted windows,an engine style red vinyl supercharged decal just ...

Just where would I look for scales that would weight my car?

You can also check your local movers(north american,mayflower,etc..)

It was the vacuum T under the S/C snout

Thanks for the help, it was a vacuum line, fixed and running good again.

My apologies.

P0101

BORO or MAF/VAF sensor condition

P0121

TPS, sensor opened or shorted internally

P0137

I have used never dull in the past and must say, it's great for polishing bare metal.

I will say this Juan, your car has some serious potential to be an awesome sleeper!!

I have found one thing that works exceptionally well and it isn't auto related at all!!

Try turtle wax, boat hull cleaner, it has a petrolleum distilate in it that will remove anything I have encountered and was designed for fiberglass and aluminum boat hulls, wich we all know will possibly be ...

I have an 03 SSEi and owned it for 3 years now, and had the same problem as this post , the funny thing is when i first got it it kept blowing the fuse and i took it in under warranty and they couldn't find any thing wrong, I get it back and POP, it does it again , I tryd and tryd new fuses with ...

I agree with everyone on here saying that "unless its built for it, don't do it" but the performance benefits are staggering, look up HOTROD mag. may 2009, has an article of a supercharged LSX running on three different fuels and one of them is E-85.

And the performance numbers are as followed ...

All though I would never do that to any of my cars ,The lambo doors really are a genius design if you think about it, If all cars came with lambo doors, door dings would be a thing of the past and tight space parking would no longer be a concern.
