Alright, so my friend drives a 92 Laser AWD 5sp. Current mods are Ported 14b w/ 34mm flapper@14-15lbs of boost, k&n, open stock downpipe, and thats it i think. Well since he got it about a year ago it has had a odd sputtering problem from about 2k to 4k only when the motor is under load, the more load the worse it gets, almost feels like a misfire, but only when not under boost and on it a little. Another thing that *I* have not experienced after driving the car for about 2hrs over the past 2days, and not taking it easy on it either, is that it tends to die whenever he brakes he said. When I got in it tonight I pumped the brakes right when i got in and revs dropped to like 5-600 but they went right back up, so i dont think thats much of a problem. We have done plug wires, plugs twice, checked base timing, made sure everything was plugged in, and still it does that. Any other possibilities of what it could be? After it gets into a little boost it pulls like a DSM with his mods should pull. But even after each shift it tends to not want to go for a second then it puts you back in the seat again. No, I do not shift slowly, and it isnt the turbo as far as I can tell, as its happened with both of his turbos. Any more questions just ask me. Thanks for any help in advance!

Is his MAS plugged in? The car will feel pretty sluggish if it isn't. Also check for vaccum leaks. Does he have a venting bov? That will sometimes do it also.

If the MAS wasn't plugged in they would be getting a CEL, which I assume they are not since it wasn't mentioned. Besides the leaks and BOV that John mentioned...is the o2 sensor cycling properly during open-loop mode?

Have you checked for boost leaks? If you have changed plugs, wires, ect thats the next place you should go.

If it isn't anything listed above, my next guess would be the ecu. If you have access to another, may as well try it. A unplugged MAS does not always pop a CEL atleast on a 2g gs-t. It made the trip from Hopkins to QPR without a CEL. The car just felt sluggish. Ghettostyle's 2g AWD on the other hand will not rev past 2000 rpm without the MAS plugged in. Depends on the car I quess...

The MAS is plugged in. It has been unplugged and plugged back in many times since he got the car, and it has been a problem since he got it. I'll have to try a new computer, and check for vacuum/boost leaks anywhere in the system.

*UPDATE*ok so I did some more work on the car and well here are the results. I put one of my good computers in the car. checked the timing and checked the plugs and wires to be sure there in the right spot. well that didnt help at all. the mas is good still. Im thinking maybe a fuel pump issue possibly needing to replace his? or at least re-wire it? idk leave some insite please?

Did you check the IAC? my 2g was having issues with Idle and riding up high the dropping and such. took out the IAC and swaped in a new one and it has solved the problem.
my 2 cents worth
