Hey everyone, I have a pretty major problem on my hands, its that my car is running very crappy right now. Anyone help me please. Exact problems are that

1. misfires

2. car almost wants to die at idle (idles at about 650rpms), and has a loud rattling in the engine and kind of sounds like rattling under the car too. I can open the hood at idle and see my intake to the turbo just shuttering back and forth with that loud rattling noise.

3. After driving it for tests to see if problems get ANY better (which they dont), I come to a stop light and when i slow down all you hear is backfiring. I come to a stop and my car literally drops to 100 rpms and almost dies, then a have to peddle the gas to raise it back to 600 rpms (which is where it idles now cuz of this whole problem)

4. When I floor it, the first time out of the test runs that i floor it, it goes good. But if i try to floor it again, it wont go. it then bogs like crazy if i try going on her again. I can only get one good run out of her per time i test it.

For better diagnosis, I have replaced the following to the car so far

1. New MSD coil tower

2. New spark plug wires

3. New spark plugs (NGK BKR7E, gapped to .035"

None of those helped it whatsoever though. It runs the same as it did before I did all those replacements. I also remember now that I threw in some iso-heet randomly one day about a week and a half ago (still this tank of gas, now half tank full though), could that be anything of a problem you think? Could I try also even running some injector cleaner? Or clean the throttle body or something?

It ran fine a few days ago, but then I ran it hard one night, but I replaced all the ignition type things. Cuz I mean it was running great that night, until i stopped at walgreens, parked, then 10 minutes later started it and it ran like this. Any help is greatly GREATLY appreciated!

What kind of spark plugs are those? You should be using NGK BPR6ES or 7ES's gapped to .028-.031".

Could be your Maft took a dump on you? If you have a spare one laying around try swaping. When you pulled your old plugs what did they look like?

The plugs are as stated, NGK BKR-7E and they are gapped to .035".

I dont have a spare one lying around so thats out of the picture for me, i dont have enough to get a new one either. When I pulled the old plugs they are just black, I know I am running rich though like crazy. But its never affected anything before like it has this time.

also check for any broken or leaking hoses/connections

I think what he was trying to say is why are you using those plugs.

Oh i didnt notice he said BPR. The reason I use those is because on 2gnt.com they all were telling me to use bkr-7e's so i got those! I will check for loose connections though and hoses anywhere. It is just so hard to see in there. Maybe I will just take it to a shop.

I see. So your car is a NT then. Might want to add that to your first post.

No its turbo, I just am a part of that site cuz a lot of the guys on there are 420a turbos, which is what I am as well! Anyone have a spare ECU lying around?

We still need to know that it was a 2GNT orginally. The turbo 2Gs are totally different as far engine, ignition, spark plug type, coil type, ECU, etc than a turboed 2GNT.

So, it runs that same with the stock ignition stuff on it as it does with the MSD stuff? Are you sure some plug wires aren't going to the wrong cylinders?

It sounds like an ignition problem, or the MAP sensor is getting a bad reading, or maybe you blew up the motor. With the engine running, try pulling out each plug wire 1 cylinder at a time to see if there is no change in the way it runs with any of the cylinders.
