I'm assuming you guys will get a notice when a reply pops in this thread, and you guys are the one's we always bounce Idea's off of, so I'm posting in this dead ___ thread! LOL!
AEN (LOL, haven't seen that screen name in awhile) is gonna be back in town next week to help me out, so I got a week to kick things around.
I've been boosted for 4 years and 40,000 miles now on the stock motor and the stock clutch. This week I had my first issue, and it may not even be turbo related.
Every once in awhile, my car will bog down and stall from being in boost and then having to break...too much fuel, not enough air. Usually it starts right back up. Happened again but when it started back up, it just felt "weird".
Drove home. Next morning, go to start the car and it turns, turns, turns, turns BOOM!...black smoke out the exhaust. Try again...turn, turn, turn, turn, motor feels like it catches on something so I stop. Again...turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, starts. Idles perfect. Didnt' trust it so I drove my wife's car to work. Figured it was spark plugs.
2 days later, got new plugs, same thing. turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, nothing. Again...turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, starts. Idles fine. I can gas it and rpms go up. But now it's throwing codes:
P0341 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Performance
P0351 Ignition Coil 1 Control Circuit
P0352 Ignition Coil 2 Control Circuit
P0353 Ignition Coil 3 Control Circuit
P0354 Ignition Coil 4 Control Circuit
I feel bad coming back to this thread after so long and asking for help, but I feel so depressed that my baby has been stuck in the garage for a week.
I just want to get her back on the road again...

for the cam code the resistor on the fic harness may have burned out or a loose/shorted connection is causing it. get the p0341 code taken care of and then see how everything else goes. While your at it check the coil packs (wireing and plugs) as well as fuses.

THANKS!
Yeah...first thought was plugs so I put new ones in but no change...and the old ones weren't even bad.
Tonight I will check all fuses and harness connections, as well as check if the new plugs got fouled after a few cranks.
