That doesn't sound good mate

Before I suggest a cracked exhaust manifold, can you check the codes for us?

Also run us through what you actually did in your service man.

Are all vacum tubes hooked up and all electricals pluged in?
You haven't got an air leak in the manifold have you?

a gpx plenum has a vac outlet for the MAP sensor

thats where your leak probably is

nah the vacume pipe line for the map sensor is covered and blocked off.. the if u guys are talking bout the little black pieces inside the intake i took them out in the gr one and it made the car more responsive

.....aawww i have to pull it out again looks soo pretty...the sensors plug in aswell except temp sensor thats left out dont need it..hummzzz
