So after about half a week of trying to figure out why my car is throwing a CEL, misfiring, and stalling, its going to the dealership. Hopefully its nothing too bad.

Checked all your hoses? Intercooler, all lines leading to turbo, etc.

Do you have the resistor fix done for your UP?

Clean the MAF sensor? :dunno: Might not throw a CEL but could cause some sputtering/crappiness.

No but I have driven without it for probably 15000 miles, I didnt put anything new on my car, if anything the stock exhaust was put back on.

your car hates you for making it slower.
