so, I'm driving my car and i go to pull out of an intersection and suddenly i fell a huge dramatic drop in power, and the car barley ran, i smelled gas, I had to limp the car home, I've tried taking the battery terminal off to reset the computer. The car misfires it seems when boosted, but idles fine, Im really lost, the car has a zzp intercooler, zzp 2.9 pulley and bigger injectors, but in all i need some serious advice how to fix this problem, i sure as hell don't wanna ride the bus to school!!

Charge pipe pop? MAF?

I was thinking the MAF. did you come it to contact with water at all before that?

lanestanley24

the car will idle fine, but soon as you give it some fuel it will post a small amount and then when you boost a lot it will completely bog off and sputter and sometimes die...

you blowing any smoke? id pull your MAF and clean it. when is the last time you put plugs in it? do you have access to a scanner?

lanestanley24

i changed the maf and no change at all!!!

Im thinking its either a clogged catalytic converter or coil pack, haven't ran any scans for the fact i can't gat ahold of one. Hope to figure this out!!!

The clogged cat make sense. I don't see it being coil pack... Take your down pipe off and take it down the street

figured it out I took the down pipe off like gumby3558 said and a piece of my converter was logged in the exhaust pipe and it come out and now it runs fine like a cobalt should, Thanks for all the help guys
