My car was running great today, after i re-gapped my plugs to .040 and found it was my whole bucking/power-loss issue below 2,000 rpm( i had them at .025).....it was a good day and after a nice full throttle run at full boost, all the sudden my car wouldn't idle below 2,000 and started smoking black smoke BADLY.......i was like crap.....i probably melted a piston or cracked the block, i was able to make it home using large amounts of ebrake at the stops while i gave it gas, it drove as if it was running on 4 cyls...i was pissed at the least......SO i started pulling plugs and checking compression....i couldn't find the issue until i started it up, held it at 2,000 rpm and heard a whistling....
Turns out one of my t-bolt clamps that holds on my MAF was bottomed out, and i thought it was tight....so it was sucking in unmetered air when the meter blew off!....it wasn't obvious because it is in my fender!
that made my day....figured i would share.
