It seems like my car has lost its boost. It used to really fly and had power, but now I dont know why but I have to press the gas pedal really down and the car has to suddenly rev up to go faster.

so what you're saying is, you have a problem, got a cel and it went away, so you didn't fix anything...and the problem still remains.......

I don't think you're understanding what I'm trying to say. You started one thread and was given advice. But instead of fixing the problem, you let it go. So the problem is still there and you start another thread asking the same thing......

Perhaps you should try taking the car to a mechanic.

::edited:: because I wasn't sure if Akfahad was talkin about my post and after I read it again....it could have used some work, so I fixed it lol
