Took my car out for a spin down the road and pulled over..let it sit for alittle bit while a ran a quick errened..wasnt gone for more than 30 seconds and the car shut off..Tried to start it up..turns on but it idles at about 600 and slowly drops to about 400 then shuts off..if i give it gas the rpms will go up but slow then start to drop again quick. The car putters bad when its sitting there and the rpms are dropping like its struggaling bad. Dont know what it could be. Any ideas? TPS maybe? 96' GS-T
 
Is this the first sign of the problem you have seen? This problem could be caused by numerous things might be ISC, cam position sensor, bad plugs and wires, vacume leak the list goes on, get an obd2 and hook it up and go from there.
 
dude check your cam position sensor. This happen to me too. Plug in a new cam position sensor babe runs well. :thumb:
Down side: it cost $64

S-AFC is zeroed out across the board cause i dont have a datalogger yet. Hi thrtl is 85 and Low is 30..Karman 4cyl. Replaced spark plugs but still have the same problem..now it doesnt even struggle, it just turns over, rpms shoot to like 1k and then automatically dies.
 
My check engine light doesnt come on..battery and oil light does..batterys charged and there is oil..i just think its the S-AFC..i zero it out across the board then it dies quicker..if i correct like +2 or -2 down the line then it seems to respond but still dies. Any suggestions? What settings could i put it at to get it running until i get a logger? Mod list is follows
Extreme D.I.S. Filter
Extreme Stainless Upper Intercooler Pipe
1stG Blow Off Valve
2.5" downpipe
Thermal Research and Development 3" Stainless Cat-back exhaust
Dime Store Fuel Cut Defencer
K&N Crankcase Breather

NGK BPR6ES Plugs
Magnacor 8.5mm Plug Wires
Extreme XBC boost controller
16G TD05 turbo
Apexi Super AFC

Prothane polyurethane motor mounts
