Fuel cut

[inneed4dsm]

my car is kind of starting to fuel cut... well I'm not like 100% sure that its fuel cut it just kind of sputters at roughly 2,500 to 4,000 rpms... my friend knows a pretty decent amount about cars and he says it fuel cut... when its slammed in like 2nd gear at about 3,000 rpms it def. fuel cuts then but Im not sure about the sputtering... either way.. I dont really have the money to by bigger injectors and a pump... so I was thinking about the punishment-racing DSM fuel feed thing thats $70 shipped... would that be a good place to start? or just a waste of money??? (by the way my car is all stock... I dont know if that helps any)

What would help a little is telling us which car since you haven't filled out your profile or included that information in your post.

A stock car shouldn't hit fuel cut. When they do it's usually because of boost leaks causing the turbo to work overtime and the MAF to meter enough air to trigger fuel cut.

While your checking for boost leaks it might be a good time to replace your spark plug wires and put in new NGK plugs.

Replace your plugs and wires a.s.a.p. and you should be fine. =D

yeah thats the thing... I already replaced the plugs and wires when I bought the car about 2 weeks ago... and then it started doing it... I have a 95 tsi fwd

Boost leak test.

 

[TurboTsiThatFly]

Do A Boost Leak Test. Check your coil pack connections. and wire connections to the coil packs. what kind of plugs and wires did you get?

I just got the oem replacement wires... and plugs I'm not sure... ummm oh yeah there bosch Platinums... not 2's or 3's or 10's or however high the number is now just platinums.. and this may be a dumb question to some but how do I do a boost leak test

ummm oh yeah there bosch Platinums.

That's why people keep asking. Go back and get the right plugs. You want NGK BPR6ES plugs for a stock car.

NGK BPR6EKN is the OEM plug for 2g turbos. NGK BPR6ES is the plug most people use. They are cheaper and are just as good. Be sure to gap the NGK's at .028. All the info you need about a boost leak tester is right here...
