Ok, well, on the 16g with having stock fuel system, it probably is fuel cut. Also, Im guessing you dont have a boost gauge, you need to get one of those. Also, upgrade your fuel system, because the 16g deffinatly isnt stock boost.

Fuel cut has nothing to do with fuel delivery so you can replace your injectors and fuel pump all day long and it won't do a thing. Fuel cut is caused by hitting a preprogrammed airflow value hardcoded into the ECU's programming.

If you are running stock boost on the 16g, sounds like you have a boost leak somewhere.

1G-specific Ecu

I would look into the world of EPROM editing, you can get rid of fuel cut through that and tune your car at the same time. I would recommend having hardware that can support what you tell the car to do though, or else KABOOM! Ds-Map is not new but kinda a big deal, look into ithttp://www.ds-map.net/ also tuning is not easy and there are lots of options.

Srry to jack your thread, but i am having this same problem and have checked everything, replaced the ignition system, fuel delivery........yada yada yada. Laserspeeddemon mentioned that fuel cut is an airflow amount. I was wondering if a piggyback could have made the ecu hit this point? thanks

The answer to fuel cut is almost always "boost leak test", did you miss that part?

Yes, a piggyback can help create fuel cut if it's adjusted into the positive, and you are close to fuel cut already. It fools the ECU into thinking there's more air flowing if it's positive.

If your piggyback is on the positive side to facilitate fuel cut, something is already wrong as the stock fuel map is at about 9.5:1 under WOT so your piggyback shouldn't be on the positive side regardless which injectors you have, unless of course the only modification is the MAF which will off set hitting early fuel cut anyway.

JohnnyT, eliminating fuel cut is no way to compensate for a boost leak. It's a half-ass fix that WILL destroy your engine given time.

no not regular, im not that much of an idiot. 93 octane and im only runing 15psi max. Im sure its a boost leak that developed recently. I poped the hood yesterday to adjust my idle screw and i think i could hear air coming from somewhere. Nothing i remember hearing before.

So build an IC leak tester (vfaq.com has a how-to) and do a proper boost leak test.
90% of people whose cars unexplainedly 'feel slow' or hit fuel cut without running a whole lot of extra boost with no compensation have a boost leak or two somewhere. I'd recommend checking monthly, as they can and do develop under normal daily driving situations, without anyone wrenching on anything under the hood.

Holy 75page fuel cut / boost leak / grammer thread

For those that have joined recently, be sure not to confuse "fuel cut" with engine misfires or knock-induced timing retard. Fuel cut feels the same as if you hit the Rev Limiter wheras the others feel more like rough acceleration and/or the car is being held back.

In any case, you should leak test anytime you re/re any piece of the intake tract post turbo. Also be aware of loose connections pre-tubo that would introduce unmetered air to the system

definate fuel cut

ok so i am hitting fuel cut i know that my logger shows the injectors going to 120 or so % and shutting off also i see my maf signal goes to 1602hz or something around there...basically maxes out. I have a gm maf and maft im running 12PSI now only because thats max i can get without fuelcut. i run a 11.2 afr. i have checked for boost leaks found one on the throttle shaft seal. fixed it and made alittle better i guess. pressure test again and found that my MBC has a hole in it that is suposed to prevent waste gate lock up. but under pressure it leaks could this be what is causing my fuel cut? should i get a different MBC?
