I got on it the other day and right after that the car died but I couldnt hear anything when i got on it cause I was blasting the radio. Now it wont stay alive and has a real shitty idle. Vacuum is reading at 8-10 instead of 15-18 and it feels sooo sluggish under 3000 but after that it seems fine. Any ideas? TIA

 

Those are the sign of a blown apex seal, you're going to have to do a compression test to be 100%. Are you seeing boost? Could be a blown off intercooler piping...

 

could be a number of things. More than likely it's an intercooler piping... or one of the 10,000 vacum lines our Fc's have. do some double checking and make sure everything is tight and secure

 

Actually yea its still boosting at about 7 to 8 psi. Whats weird though is that when I got on it I looked at the peak and it said I hit 10 psi... I hope its just something little like a intercooler pipe as you stated. Thanks.

ok this thread took a weird turn. oh well. do a compression test. check for a vac leak as well.
