hey guys lately all of a sudden today i went to start my car and it fired up as normal then about 10 minutes of driving it just bogged really hard and slowly died but i restarted it right up and it was fine.Then it would die every 2 minutes.now ive checked for codes and its the same one ive been getting before (o2 sensor )but im not bothering to fix that because my turbo its going on soon. I know im running pretty rich and my plugs are about 2 months old and theyre very black.also when my car dies the fuel pump comes randomly comes on???? any suggestions.

also now when my car shuts itself off my fuel pump will kick in randomly like when you first turn your key all the way to the on position.also i tried t he test where you disconnect the negative battery terminal while the car is running and it stayed running so im pretty sure the alternator is working.

if you know your car is running really rich why punish it and wait till you get boost? you gonna mess it up then slap boost on it when you dont know what kind of (if there is any) damage or wear internally you have created, then next thing you know you got a popped motor.

change the plugs and o2 who cares you need an o2 anyways.
and if your getting a wide band sell the old manifold with brand new o2 im sure someone can use it.

yeah i was just going to wait to buy a timing light and **** kept on coming up and i couldnt get one ....but regardless for some reason the car starts now and runs fine im thinking it was because my tranny ground wasnt on very secure.
