i have a 96 420a eclipse after running about 15 min. the car just shuts off, i bypassed the fuel pump relay,ASD relay, fuel pressure is at 52psi, new pcm, i have checked all the wires everything is hooked up.

any ideas would be great
 
Not to sound like a smart ass but exactly how hot does it get? Im not familiar with the N/As but I do know (from experience :mad: ) you can overheat a turbo car to the point where it will lock up.

If it's been doing it since all those fuel mods then my guess is you have a sensor unplugged somewhere. The strange part is it wouldn't idle and it would die from too much fuel/lack of fuel in a few seconds.

Can you restart the car after it dies?

Any smells (coolant/fuel?

Any smoke out of the tailpipe?

Does the car have a problem idling?

Hit back with answers to those and we'll go from there.
 
no smells
no smoke
it will restart and them die 5 secs later
idles fine up until it dies
also new coil pack plug and wires
