    WTF S50 you turd help me please

    My car randomly does this thing now where it just starts bogging and then won't move off of full throttle. I give it gas, and it just sounds like it's about to die, bouncing around 500 RPM or so. It's really annoying, and I've checked the obvious: MAF, ECU, Vaccum Leaks, yeah.. Kind of lost. thanks in advance for any help!

    Have you tested the CPS and TPS? Do you have a MIL light hooked up? Pull any codes? Stomp test?

      The sensors are both fine, but what's a MIL light? No codes, and no stomp test.

        MIL light.

        For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.


        So, if they are fine, what readings did you get from them?

          My check engine light is on but it has been ever since the swap. Everything worked fine on the car though. This issue just happened randomly and isn't going away. And more people call it a check engine light than MIL, so that's what threw me off haha. I don't think my war will work off a stomp test but I'll try.

            You do know an issue happening randomly and not going away could be due to a faulty sensor, right? They do fail. If you haven't verified them, that is one thing. Also, MIL is the correct term, "check engine light" is the novice, I drive a Corolla term.

            Why don't you call the guy that sells the WAR chip then, it's obvious you aren't interested in proper diagnostic methods, and wanna do it your own way.

              I just don't think it would be those two sensors because they were changed when I did the swap 3 months ago for new ones. And I guess everyone I know is a novice then because I've never heard of MIL. I appreciate the help but go be an ass elsewhere. Your high post count doesn't entitle you to be an ass, thanks though.

                I had almost the identical problem about 2 weeks ago. I did a lot of trouble shooting, testing sensors. Took peoples advise. Than I unplugged my 02 sensor and the car ran perfect. Replaced the 02 sensor the same day. And my car is running like a champ. Hope it helps.

                  I think that might be the problem with my car. I hear a weird ticking noise coming from the exhaust very randomly but it's in like the center of the car where the o2 sensor is. Thanks man!
