Ok, here is my problem, anytime I give the car gas and then push my clutch all the way in, the car dies. I have trolled the internet and this site and all post relating to this issue are left un-resolved. The always say the same thing, "it could be a lot of things", ISC, TPS, Alternator, fuel, filters and so on.. Well now it's my problem...  I have an idea what can be causing it but I am not sure. I think it's the clip (pigtail) that connects to the alternator. It is broken and was falling off a lot but I wired it shut. Second, I would like someone, anyone to take a look at my idle log and help me understand what the data is saying.

I bought my car a couple years ago with a bent rod and decided to rebuild it and put it back stock for the most part or as close as I could. Originally when I bought it, it had MHI 20g, 40mm tail external WG recirculated, 1gb head with webcams. It also had full 3'' exhaust, Apexi SAFC II and a Greddy profec b EBC, greddy type rs BOV, greddy trust FMIC, walbro 255 and some crappy gauges.

Tore the block down and rebuilt it myself with stock bottom end and put back on a 98 head and intake with stock cams. Took the 20g off and put a MHI b16 (it's the only thing I had), got rid of the EWG. Kept the FMIC and the exhaust. Kept the SAFC and ebc and bought me evoscan and AEM AFR gauge, boost, and water temp gauge. The rebuild had all new everything, bolts, all OEM gaskets except for the cometic head gasket, bearings, oil pump, water pump, belts, belt cover...LOL everything is new and all OEM. Did a balance shaft delete, ported oil filter housing, I also have an ACT 2600 clutch with lightweight flywheel.

I do not know how to tune at all!!!!! I have spent the last month reading my a$$ off trying to learn the basics. I have gaped all NGK 6 plugs, did a BLT, have small leak at the BISS screw have already ordered it. I think I have kind of put everything out there... I do not have my AFR gauge wired to the USB yet. Car seems to run well now. After going over everything. Put a stock fuel pump in but the car was not running correctly. So I bought another 255 and put it in and it works disguisenly good! So if anyone can see anything I cant, please weigh in. I forgot to turn the Knock log on but its just idle.

I had FIC 650 but i took them out and put back stock 450 injectors and also put back the stock FPR.

Yes, I will add a video today. After I secured the alternator clip to the alternator the battery light came on and my break light came on.

Ok, I fixed the batter and break light but the car keeps doing what its doing. It seems like its stalls after it warms up. here is a the link to the video and the log that goes with it. Could it be something with the fuel and spark? If someone can please take alook at the log and help me out?? :confused:

Thanks in advance!!

There was a short in the alternator pigtail. I removed the battery terminals, covered up the bare wire that was touching the alternator housing and reattached the terminals and my lights were gone. So might be a short somewhere.

I was hopeing it would fix my stalling problem. However, it didnt...
