my is car running like shit
 

my car runs like crap. if you run it to redline in a gear or two it doesnt pull hard at all intill 6000 rpm then it pulls a little. then 2-3 min later check light turns on then 5 min later it shuts off. when iam driving the car and it is warming up it doesnt want to go anywhere but it is boosting. and when i put my free flowing 3 inch side exit exhuast i get mad boost ceep. so now iam running differnt exhuast that is a stock down pipe o2 housing 2 inch exhuast pipe side exit. i still have boost creep but it isnt as bad but the runs worse. i never had this problem last year. i cant scan the computer. i tried to put the scanner said it couldnt read it.

OBD2 scanners obviously won't work. You can pull the codes the old fashioned way, it's on the VFAQ site.

VFAQ is your best friend if you own a dsm... id check that out first also.

Damn sorry to hear. You have to be the only person I know to convert their AWD to FWD though. :D

Like they said, VFAQ is very helpful.
