    Unhappy Lost power on freeway

    Hey guys. So i have evo 8 last night i was driving, i was on the freeway 10 getting into the freeway 605 so it was a turn i was in 3rd gear shift to 4th and it made a weird noise i had my foot on the gas but it wouldn't accelerate. I started losing power. I pull over on the side. Smoke came out the engine bay not a lot very minimal. I was thinking it was like a vacuum line i checked didnt see anything. I was on the side of the freeway i need to get out. But i would have my car in no speed/neutral idle was fine no trouble. But if i put speed it would bog alot like stalling but wouldnt turn off like. I had to tow it home. So thats the problem what can it be?
    any help would work. Thanks in advance

    Unplug the electrical connector on the MAF (Air flow meter) and see if the car runs better, worse or the same. Report back.

    ^ +1 I had same issue. I was driving like in 3rd, I ended up towing the car to my local shop. They check everything and nothing comes up.. we thought it was low fuel level, but all issues were fixed after unplug the maf cable. The car drove like that many times. Only difference is the car was tuned with Speed Density and I was driving it with maf and stock air box due smoke inspection.

    Thanks guys i found the problem it was simple. It was the ic pipe that its came off. But weird thing is that it blew my exhausts gasket i had major leak after that. Had to change it. So that solve the problem but the intake hose keeps falling out.
