Alright guys, i finally got my car running. Put a Big16, 3" RNR exhaust, 255 fp, egt and boost gauge, ported evo mani. The damn thing runs like a scalded ass ape. I had problems getting the title in my name, got that fixed today. Was going to get it inspected and going on the prowl to show off a bit, it is running bad ass, then around 5 miles later......... buck, buck, jerk. It started running like crap. The car was just pouring out smoke and missing. (dumping fuel). I got no CEL. Now it wont start and i am in the middle of the road. I keep cranking and it finally starts up and i floor it and clean it out and am moving a little at a time, just keeping alot of throttle and RPM to keep it running. Then it will load up again and die (even at WOT) Wait a bit longer on the side of the road, and finally it will start again and ill drive a bit more and it does it again. I finally make it home, 5 miles away in about 40 minutes. I am pissed!!! I took my time and did everything right. Well all this happened at about 5 pm. I just went out 9 pm and started the car and it idles perfect, and goes through the RPMs fine. Just like before. I really like my car but i am getting........frustrated (for a nicer term). Any help guys. Just replaced the coolant sensor and knock sensor. Thanx in advance.
) But i could not even keep it running before after i got it started, it would miss and sputter stationary in neutral or in gear.
