I have a 1993 eclipse gsx 16g turbo 3inch turbo back exhaust,560 evo injectors, bov,boost controller, 2g maf, 190 rewired fuel pump and boost gauge.I have been running rich but now my car is running lean and it will die while i am driving and at idle sometimes. If i unplug the battery and wait 20 min it will start up fine but then do it again and a while. I did a boost leak test and heard no leaks i put 25psi in the engine and nothing. Do you think I have a leak in my injectors or a bad cam angle sensor, TCS , ICS or something else please help.
 
If you had a leak at your injectors, that would cause you to run rich not lean. It sounds like your car is going in to "limp" mode. That's why when you unhook your battery, it resets the ecu and takes it out of it.. Then after a certain period of time of driving it, it will put itself back into "limp" mode. A bad cam angle sensor will do this.
 
Thanks I will replace the cam sensor and see if it fixes the problem. And one other thing i think i have a boost leak somewhere too because I only have -12 vacuum on boost gauge with stock cams.
