Default HELP!!! i have turbonetics kit and car is studdering and shaking!!!

yesterday i was driving and my check engine light came on and i took it to a shop and they said i had a DTS code, forgot what they said, but i thought nothing of it bc they said it wasnt huge, but i stopped their b/c it was close to me, last night, my car started studdering when i would give it gas, and shaking, and i JUST got the kit installed what is wrong with my car, the check engine light has never flashed, i parked my car and will not drive it, this sux im gonna have to take it to the shop on monday, i just got this kit and im already having problems i would assume i had it installed wrong, japtrix did it though and it seemed like they knew what they were doing, so hopefully on monday they can fix it, i hope its not serious, i love everything bout this kit but i just got it 2 days ago.

Glad to help. Unfortunately DTC covers all of the codes so unless they gave you a specific number not much to go by. It could be the reflash, I am sure Roger will figure it out. Good Luck.

get an OBDII reader.
Sounds like a misfire. Maybe you have blown a coil somehow.

its not gas, lol got a full tank but the car when it gets warm starts to make a slight clanking noise, and if you give it gas it would basically just studder more and more as you go faster, but i hope its not something serious b/c i am really getting sick of this car, cant handle crap, i blew my motor n/a and its a problem one after the other.

yea im the one that had blown the motor n/a and they couldnt find out what it was or didnt want to admit to something on the car from nissan screwed it, but yea i won the case and got a whole new motor from nissan with my lawyers help of course. but the reason i got a turbo kit is b/c the motor was all new and you know i wasnt afraid to turbo with a nice new strong motor, and yea it was running great and all of the sudden the car throws a check engine light and it starts flashing half way to my house and the car is spuddering and basically wont go anywhere and then it idles with a noise to it, this car is an amazing headache

Hmmm what measure is your vacuum. You should have 20hg of vacuum at idle.

That flashing CEL could be a blown coil pack. Does the car sounds like its running a les than 6 cylinders? No loud banging noise...right...just roughness?
