I have a 90 gsx bone stock except for the cat being cut out. when you first start the car for this first ten min of driving it runs like garbage. I also have another 90 gsx heavily modded and i remeber what fuel cut used to feel like. Almost the same thing i am getting with this car but i have not done anything to it. I chaged the coolant temp sensor, injecotr harnesses, bat, alt, plugs, wires. and i have no chage. After ten minutes of drving it runs great , but i am going thru gas very fast. no check engie light. Can anyone help?
 
My car has been doing the exact same thing, except I have a check engine light. I would also like to know. Thanx
 
Swap the maf out with a known good one and see if it changes anything. If that doesn't help start looking for boost leaks.


Reverse that. Do the boost leak tests first then check the maf.
 
There is a small leak at my injectors. I'm going out today to get new o-rings. Would that small of a leak make the car run this bad?
 
well i changed the maf with my hacked one from my other gsx and got no real change. The car runs better more often now but still hesitates like it did before so the problem is not solved. Im gonne try to change the ecu today and well see what happens. thanlks for the input guys
