[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 16464822, member: 76381"] Pretty much stop driving the car. If you have to drive it.....totally avoid WOT pulls until you have the WB functioning. That's the first order of business. Next, get a partial pull datalog with the wideband reading....say a 2k to 5k pull. Review the data. Be prepared to get a retune if necessary and possibly some fuel related parts if the data shows an obvious issue. Plugs and fuel filter never a bad idea to change. You're IAT2 (charge temp) is not out of whack at all being in the 150s in south florida. By 150 the tune should be pulling multiple degrees of timing as a safety measure....and it naturally will feel sluggish. Bucking on the other hand sounds bad. If you're intercooler pump was out....you'd see 170 IAT2s very fast. Never buy one of these car without a compression test....and even if that's good, be ready to get a retune once you purchase because there are tons of idiot tuners out there. Bad tunes and/or combination of poor fuel related parts will lead to a catastrophic engine failure. [/QUOTE]
