Driving around with no problems and without warning lost all power, got back to a friends house but now it idles really hard, and if i let off the gas it dies. anyone know what it could be? 1995 850 turbo.

 

10 bucks says you either ripped an intercooler hose or blew one off the coupler. Check all your hoses for leaks.

 

ok, if you could list a few things before i have someone tow it(70 miles from my town) i will check the hoses.

 

I'm gonna guess MAF related.

Forgot to plug it in once and I had a really rough idle and I had to keep my foot on the gas to keep the engine running. Once I let off the gas, the engine died.

Also blew my throttle body hose off. Car still ran and idled just fine, just had VERY week acceleration.

 

Check all the vacuum lines and hoses that connect your turbo to the IC then to the throttle body.
But I still think it may be MAF related.

 

Where you beating on it before It died?

What about a PVC issue?
Has it happened randomly before?

 

Intercooler hoses are the large (2+ inch diameter) that come from the turbo over the spark plug cover to the intercooler, and then go from the intercooler to the throttle body. I had one essentially explode on me a while back and i had the same issue.

 

was driving about 45 mph, then it just slowed way down and wouldn't let me get power above 3k rpm. the temp wasn't up all the way to red but it was just a little above half.

 

temp sounds normal. Car went into limp mode if it wont go above 3k RPM. Check engine light on? codes?

 

+1 on MAF related. when i first got my wagon i had similar issues and it was due to the MAF good luck
