i have a 2001 gt and had nitrous installed and everything but i think that it wasn't hooked up properly because when i was driving it revved by itself so i shut it off. when i went to start it the intake blew and a couple pistons had to be replaced. I got all that done and just got the car back with new pistons, heads, and gaskets but its not running right. 1st gear has very little power and feels like its bogging down and someone told me it sounds like it might have an exhuast leak. would the exhaust leak cause that much decrease in performance? i was also told that the gaskets and all still need to be worked in which might be the culprit. any help is appreciated, if you need more info let me know, thanks

 

Vacuum leak?

 

i thought about that, but wouldn't it die at idle? im getting it looked at over the weekend but id like to give them an idea of what it might be

 

just wanted to say i figured it out..it finally threwa CEL finally came on and it was a bad connection to the ignition coil....so this thread is pretty useless now

 

Lesson learned. Anytime you have nitrous on a car and it revs up by itself when your at partial throttle that means the nitrous is spraying even though it shouldn't be. If that ever happens again, shut the car off, get the nitrous to turn off and unplug all your coils. Spin the car over several times to push all the nitrous out then plug the coils back in and start it.

 

i don't understand how it could still be spraying....is that a solenoid problem or what?

 

are you useing a window switch....if so its probably not set right

 

yes i am using a window switch...is it supposed to read the RPM's on the screen?

 

window switch problem, or bad selonoid i'd say

do you use teflon tape or paste ? tape will get caught up in the selonoid and make it hang open, never use it

 

im not sure which if its tape or paste, i had someone else do it but obviously they weren't as experienced as they said but i just don't want it to happen again after i hook it back up
