did the problem start before or after you rinsed engine bay? and i would prolly get 3 bar sensor, that might be part of the problem bro.

[chadwalker51]

I THINK AFTER BUT IM NOT POSITIVE MY CAR ALSO SEEMS HARD TO START NOW IT TAKES UP TO 2 FULL SECONDS.. BUT THANX ALOT MAN ....DO U KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY THAT SENSOR?

ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KINDA BOOST CONTROLER THIS IS?

[buzzkill]

buy it in the fs section (used is cheaper) or ptperformnace has em. if you want the true mopar sensor, you gotta look around. Lemme ask you this? was the sensor (non 3bar) on the car since you bought it? and if so, did the car sputter since you bought it?

the car had great power with out the 3 bar sensor. it had a little loss in power but no major sputtering ...i have now replaced a cam positioning sensor, i check my car for boost leaks and a o2 sensor on the first bank and no9w it threw a check engine light for the second one.... can o2 sensors make my car run like shit?

[buzzkill]

catless down pipe? and what pcm you running again?

[chadwalker51]

yes cat less i think i figured out the problem it was my electric boost controller gone bad ....now whats a good boost controller for the money ...should i get manual or electric?

[buzzkill]

oh man, there are gonna be a thousand diff opinions on this one bro. Most electric are better but a lot of people run manuals and have no problems. I am not sure how a boost controller is going to throwq a code for your o2 sensor.
I asked about your downpipe and what pcm because catless and stock pcm will throw codes until you do the non fouler mod. Staged comp are not that picky and will not throw the code.

tps? it does all those things.always big problem on 04s. tps is very sensitive
