hey guys i need help my 8 is running really bad. it ideals fine but when i give it throttle while in neutral its slow to respond and it wont go past 4-5k rpms. and when ever i drive it its real ruff and it doesn't want to accelerate.

there doesn't seem to be any vacuum leaks that i could find. and when it started this i was driving home from work and started noticing a whistle like a air vac. leak or something. so i drove it home and back to work like that,but before i got to work it started getting worse i would floor it and it wouldn't go anywhere and the whistle got louder. i have no idea where to start to fix this thing. i really need some advise. please help i have to get this fixed as fast as possible. im without a car....... :banghead:
thanks,

You should have a compression test done, but it could be a list of things (motor mounts, coils, gas, etc.) You still have it under warranty, right?

Is your car really turboed ?

If yes and you're using Stock Greddy kit, check the hose, its a KNOWN weak spot. Also, remember Tune it.

If Stock N/A form, check 3 plastic tube that goes around the intake manifold and SSV tube for leaks.
