I was on my way to the movie tonight, then suddenly it feels kinda weird for
some reason, I floor the car, boost showed up at 10psi. but didn't feel like
10psi , felt powerless..... and engine start to shake violently on idle.
After the movie, I was in a great mood , started the car, engine stalled, it
happened before cause the idle motor broke, but that was only 4 months ago.
Started again and drove it like a rally car w/ left brake/right gas on the
same time. I notice the engine warmed up fairly quick , and the boost gauge
is reading around 5 HMG to 2psi, which is unusual, as it shouldn't be using
turbo at all at that speed. And the engine shakes violently, and feels like
its not running all 4 cylinder. I checked the hood and everything seems to
be intact.

I assume its either fuel injectors or the fuel regulator.

barely made it home tonight, and the dealer won't be open until monday....
anyone had problems like that?

here's some minor details bout my 740
1991 740SE, b230FT, running 10psi, intake, running octane 94 all the time.
it has about 80k miles on it
