    having problems with my 03 cobra

    I did a small burnout wasting the tires before I put on the new summer set.
    The car felt great and ran great for the 20 or so minutes I was driving it beforehand.

    After the burnout I pulled out on the highway and got on it and as soon as it hit boost it fell on its face, boost went up and the wideband went to 19+ a/f.

    I looked over the vacuum lines when I got home and do not see anything off and the car and driving out of boost it is running fine.

    I pulled the vac line off the frps and no smell of gas. checked the oil not a sign of gas in the oil. I cleared the code and checked everything from the spark plugs to the MAF and took it for a ride. It ran good. slowly hit boost with no problem.

    About 5 minutes into the ride i tried hitting boost again and it started to do the same thing (boost goes up and a/f goes to 19+ with the car falling on its face).

    It kept on stalling out and thought i would have to be towed. I decided to pull the plug on the frps and it ran fine! So i drove it home not hitting boost and the a/f was normal (13.5-16 while driving normally below 3k).

    Checked the vac line/oil again no smell of gas.

    NO check engine light

    I plugged the frps back in and started it up. idles fine. revved it to make boost (without a load on the motor) and shut it down. The code is back P0193

    Anyone have an idea before i drop 110 for a new frps that may not be the problem?

    Also sounds similar to other symptoms I've read when the FRPS was on the way out.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
