yesterday i started my car and drove out of my drive way tried to give it some stick and the car would not move just like a huge amount of lag and reving so i looked at the motor and the pod piping was pretty lose tighten it up and started runing much better but iv still got a huge amount of lag

Don't try to drive it on boost until you have it looked at....Unless you want to spend $$$ on a new engine.

It could be a number of things but being 99-00 I suspect the afm will be knackered........What air filter is on it?

A dry paper filter but a pod none the less...the oil damage theory maybe another valid cause but in this case it's probably due to the extra vibration of the pod.

Would be interesting to know if this was the original AFM. My original was replaced under warranty and as far as I know the replacement is still going strong. This was given to Jester and I wonder if it's survived? If it has it supports my idea of the originals having a bad batch. My second AFM ran for about 5 years with an oiled filter with no problems before it was retired.
