so what could this be?
my turbo seemed to go last sunday. i can hear it? like a ring as always. but there is no power? as soon as it is suppose to kick in it lags down to the point of losing speed.
is there vaccum coming off of the turbo that couldhave fallen off?
the waste gate is not seized. i checked that already
and i replaced the cat convertor two months ago

 

Is the turbo itself seized up?

 

no idea? how do you check that?

 

Remove the induction hose on the front of the turbo and try spinning the turbo with your finger.
BTW thats with the car off.

 

sooo... would this have anything to do with the car now not starting?
or do i have more issues!
and did i mention alot of black smoke when this started

 

turbo spins free!! what next?

 

Check and see if the o2 sensor is sweeping.
Also unplug the Mass Flow sensor and see if the car runs better.

 

sweeping?
and the mafsensor is fine

 

Take a digital meter and install the positive on the single wire for the o2 sensor.
The black from the meter to ground. Start the car and watch the meter.

Let us know what it does.

 

the car doesnt run
sooooo

 

Then what don't you have?
Fuel?
spark?
Injector pulse?

 

i have fuel
i have spark
i have compression
....
i hate this car
lol

 

....
i finally got it to start last night,. but it took a lot of pumping the gas pedal and it stalling and so on and so forth... but it did start and run for about an hour. then it died and now wont start again?

 

Check for injector pulse.

Pumping the gas doesn't really do anything.
Unplug the mass flow and see if it starts.

BTW if the exhaust manifold glows cherry red that means a really lean condition.

Did you do anywork to the car before this happened?

Also remove the oil cap and make sure the cam is turning when the engine cranks.

 

i put a fuel pump in the tank on saturday and this happened on sunday
but it ran all saturday fine!!

 

i thought that with the exhaust being red it was running really rich
?

 

No that means lean. But you said it was smoking black which means rich.

Kind of odd.

 

tell me about it
this car is messed up

 

Yes it is.

 

wanna buy it??? i'll give you a good deal!!! you know you want it!!!!
