After a nine month project of converting my 92 gs to turbo, I am finally finished or so i thought. My engine runs and sounds strong, however, the first day i drove it the car would just shut off while i was driving. By shut off I mean the car didn't hestiate, buck, or anything it just shut off. My local shop told me the car is running really rich (650's,s-afc,255fuel pump) however i have my safc preset for the 650 injectors. The garage also told me that somtimes when they start my car it runs great, and other times it will run like shit, when it runs like shit my ecu will spit out a long list of codes. When it run good the ecu doesnt spit out any codes. Is my ecu fried, it doesnt make any clicking noises or smoke like people say. Also, i am running a turbo eprom ecu from a 91tsi and i have made the changes to my non turbo harness to accept this ecu. Any help would be greatly appreciated (####ing shit I've only put 15 miles on this damn car in the last year!!!!)
 
What codes is it setting? If it is a list of unrealated codes, it could be your ECU or equally likely a connector or two. Just because the ECU isn't reseting itself or smell funny doesn't mean that something isn't damaged.
 
When you start the car the ecu will spit out a list of unrelated codes, and run like shit. Then you shut the car off, start itagain and the ecu resets itself, and no codes will come up, and the car runs fine. Then when the car is started again the car will run like shit and a new list of different unrelated codes will come up.
