2G Foot to the floor, just decelerating. No fuel?

[csto]

While cruising normal, my car all of a sudden lost fuel. No matter what I do with the gas petal, it just keeps decelerating and when I put it in neutral it stalls. Now it is stuck and when I start it, it starts for about 3 seconds, it holds idle, I can rev it if I want with no problems at any rpm, then it'll just cut fuel again and die. Could this be an ecu problem, injector problem or fuel pump cutting out? The electrical system seems fine otherwise. The past week or so under no acceleration (the car is fine under hard acceleration) it feels like I hit the fuel cut off every once in a while but comes right back on, just a real quick jerky feeling coming from the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also when starting it over and over, it doesn't seem to get flooded so I think its a fuel issue and not a spark issue.

when is the last time you changed the fuel filter?

What mods if any do you have? When was the last tune up? How many miles onthe car? What octane gas are you running? And as already stated when was your fuel filter last changed?

Sounds like it is a fuel problem. I would start with the fuel filter. You could always undo the fuel feed line going into the fuel rail to verify that it is getting plenty of fuel. I would also check to make sure it is getting spark just to be safe.

Definitally check the pump and filter. I had a problem like that on an old honda of mine and it was the pump, i just kinda changed the filter b/c that was old too.

I had a mitsu dealership do a tuneup about 6 months ago. They did the timing belt and I would assume they did the filter, but they probably didn't so I will try that first thing. The car is heavily modded, evo 3 turbo and 660 injectors, fmic and running at 10psi daily driving and 20 at the flip of a switch. It has about 110k miles on it. I'll let you guys know if the new fuel filters helps out.

Hope that works for you. But, usually when you have a bunch of mods it makes it just that much harder to find the problem. At least that is what I have found.
