Also check for a leaky hose on the intake. The only real way to do this is to pull them off and have a good cloe look. While on vacuum the hose can close up and seal but once on pressure can open up with the air mass meter sending the wrong flow signals to the injectors. Mine was doing the exact same thing. Does it 'hiss' loudly on turbo ? Ian FatHoss wrote: > I had the same exact symptoms, cause was a bad air mass meter.
