Assuming you haven't already checked this...
Sounds very similar to an inter-cooler pipe coming off as well. If so it may be a VERY easy fix. Just check to make sure there are not intercooler pipes off or couplings split first. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

IC plumbing was my first thought as well..... also I had a coil go bad on me once... did the same thing cause then you are down to 2 cyl -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

P1104 Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid Malfunction
P0110 Intake Air Temp Sensor Circuit Malfunction P0100 Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction P0420 Bank 1 Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshhold looked these up for you from a sheet I printed a couple of years ago..... might be a couple of different problems, but if your CEL was never on before then chances are that there is something common to all of these problems.... kinda looks like a problem with the MAF sensor according to the codes though..... if I am not mistaken the Mitsubishi MAF also houses the IAT sensor -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

A bunch of MAF sensor codes could be brought on by a loose intercooler pipe as well. Check the basics before you spend ANY money on parts. You may end up at a new MAF or ECU but at least make sure it's not something free first.

actually. the CEL had been on prior to this happening. the guy told me when i got it that it was because of apexi safc2. i didnt know a whole lot about it so i believed him. i had a backup MAF and i tried it and still it wasnt any better.

then I would definately run a boost leak test and see what you have there and double check you MAF wiring if your boost leak test doesn't turn up anything.

alright ill have to get to a hardware store n make one. also id like to mention that the boost meter in the pillar was working properly and the stock boost meter looked dead, no motion at all when i had to drive my car home sputtering. could that be caused by bad MAF wiring?

I rely on my autometer guage on my pillar.... not sure what causes it to stop -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

Check the harness where you tapped in for the afc. Loose wires are bad, as are unprotected splices.
