HELP stuck in a parking lot

Maybe a simple vacuum leak?

Maybe a simple vacuum leak?

It sure as hell behaves like one, feels just like a intercooler pipe blew off, but they all look just fine. Where else should I look? The weirdest thing is I was just putting along in comfort mode when this started going to the dry cleaniners to drop off my suits? Now the previous night I did s few pulls but didn’t notice anything on the way home.

Thanks for your help, I think I’m going to just pull the jb4 out and tow it to the dealer

Did you have the fuel wires installed, that required tapping into the existing car wiring harness?

No

How are things going so far? Any updates?

Nothing yet, I’m headed to the dealer as we speak. I’ll post anything new as I get it.

I'd presume one of the lines removed when you did the plugs was not placed back tightly, etc, for a vacuum leak.

 

[DarthVaderIX]

I didn’t remove the intake manifold when I did them.

Based on post 20 it sounds like it is intermittent which would tell me it's likely not vacuum. Sounds like an electrical issue. This maybe silly but how is the ground connection on the battery? Was the battery disconnected for any reason recently?

Negative on that one also, I agree with your statement if it was vacuum related or charge pipe off it would be all the time. Still no diagnosis

keep us posted, hope it's nothing major!

If it is, it is. Does not make me want to keep this car though.

We will see what the actual problem is. It’s not the jb4. Never had a problem before unless heavy mods were done. Then it’s just part of it. Maybe the lesson is buy a car that is fast enough from the factory.

And @DaBears4Lyfe , the rs3 forums aren’t filled with comparisons of buicks and every other post of the exhaust being too loud.

Not sure what the issue is yet... so we will see. What the rs3 forum in reference to? If you were ok with getting a lighter and smaller car with less power for similar price why didnt you? If could have lived with getting a smaller lighter car I would have bought a M240I for about the same price. Not sure what either of this has to do with the price of the tea in china Essential these comparisons dont make any sense ever....

Car won’t even be in the states until July. I think everyone knows what I meant. Rs3 not s3 totally different vehicles.

Anyways, they haven’t figured out what the problem is yet. I do find it quite fascinating that everyone thinks it’s the mods or me working on it. It’s not like I put new rotating assembly in my driveway and am dumbfounded why there is a problem lol.

I dont think its the mods FYI. I dont know if you maybe missed something or did something while changing plugs. Maybe its something from the OEM. No one really knows yet. Good look with the kia techs though. They know nothing about the stinger lol.

 

[DiabloStinger]

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging back in again? (Just trying to add some humor to your day)

I get that you're in a shitty situation. Is it the car, is it the modifications, is it the sun, is it the moon... but you have made changes to the car. Is it the changes or the associated things that may have come "loose" because of said changes...as was said, who knows. But just like we shouldn't blame the modifications, you should not blame the car. Mine runs fine and I haven't done anything under the hood, with the exception of the air filter (to add HP of course) . In any event, I hope all turns out well.
