Hey everyone! It’s been a very long time since I posted here. I finished my #125 about a year ago and life has just gotten busier. This year I decided to sell my goblin so I took it out of storage and started to go through it. I am sure there are many many more knowledgeable members that have joined over the past year and I could use some help.

So pulled the car out of storage about a month ago and drove 10 miles home great. over the past weeks I checked connections and bolts. Went to go drive it today and was having some problems. About 2 min after taking of out of my neighborhood I would lose throttle response and not able to move. Engine still running and idling great. Shut it off and turn it back on to get throttle response for about 10 seconds and happens again. This seems to happen after I got on it and built up some good boost. So I pulled the plug out of the waste gate soilioid sensor and I would get pedal back but barley any boost and able to drive back home. I recreated this problem 3 different times with the same solution to get home.
I did some reading of some people having over boost problems and going into limp mode and able to clear the problem by turning off and on the car untill happened again. One solution some one tried was pulling the MAF sensor plug and temporarily fixed this problem. So I just did that about an hour ago and voila all my problems disappeared and I was able to get on the goblin and pull all sorts of boost if different gears for 20 min. I would have to drive it more to see if the problem comes back but before it only took 2-4 minutes to shows its face.
does this mean my MAF is bad? And what it create problems like this? Iam scratching my head on this one. Any info is appreciated!!
