so last night after installing a hard pipe replacing the plastic hot pipes, i go to turn my car and turns on perfectly, then i take it off the jacks, go for a test drive it starts bogging, hesitating really bad and no boost when im pressing down on the throttle, so i take it back home turn it off and now it doesnt even want to turn on!!!! (freak)
SO WHATS THE PROBLEM!?(dunno)

Boost leak! a big one. if you disconnected the battery try arming the alarm and disarming it.

you should just have to turn the alarm on and off. is there no power or the engine wont turn over

Hmmmm......You sure you arent missing a clamp..or very loose..or forgot to put something back on..Like the BPV?

bpv is connected, and well there is power because it sounds like it wants to start, maybe some wiring got messed up? Some spark flew off the wires on top of the intake Mani near the throttle, maybe those wires got f'd up?

i'm telling you did you try arming it with the remote and then disarming it? If that doesn't work push it and pop start it.
oops just saw the last post. if its sparking by the intake mani you better start tracing some wires.

Dude..It was running already he said..its just not running right..
If it was in the alarm....It wouldn't have started..Not just run poorly.

yeah I'll take pics of where the sparks came from. When I get home, and when I first took it for a drive the car turned off after 2min of driving it and yeah the only reason I got bak home its cuz it was rolling and I just kept starting back up, btw thanks for all the help, and yeah disconnected battery twice and did alarm thing twice and nothing.
