I just took my car for a spin after putting in another ECU to see if mine is bad. I also stuck on new wires and new plugs gapped at .28. Last week, the car was missing under boost - it was doing all right today until this log below. I got what I'm guessing is fuel cut, but my O2 readings don't look right to me and I could use a second set of eyes. I'm sorry - my logging choices for this test run is admittedly crap and I forgot to log my injector duty. I've only had the car just shy of a month, so mods are light - definitely nothing aggressive. Thanks to all who can assist! :D

Sure do - here it is! I was using MMCd 1.5d but I just learned of 1.8g and installed it a few minutes ago. If I need to do another run with better logging with the newer version I can go do that. Thanks!

Did a boost leak test a few weeks ago and Saturday while I was installing my exhaust - vacuum lines are not leaking, although some are starting to crack. I'm going to replace all of them next weekend. I'm using NGKs - I don't have the box handy to tell you the model number off the top of my head. I'm only running 10lb of boost at the moment. You know, I noticed my throttle is a little odd too. It reads 10.98 idling in place. The throttle pedal is also a little sticky. I think it may need adjusted - it doesn't feel like I'm ever getting WOT.
 
Don't log the useless stuff, it just makes it harder to read and wastes samples updating stuff we don't need to see. I don't know about the others here, but I prefer a copy/paste to here over the screenshot that ends up way too small. Your pdf would be ok if you rotated it and got rid of the extra stuff.
 
Here's my run up and down the street - I did 3 pulls at WOT, at least according to my pedal. Obviously it's lying to me, since 10% is idle and I can't go much above 70% :D It didn't do the engine cut this run though. jrohner, next time I'll cut the unneeded stuff so I get faster refreshes. I'm not sure why it's saying 26 degrees... my gauge is a touch left to the middle and on the reader it said 192F when I checked it.

You'll want to find out what's going on with the coolant temp provided the car was warmed up when you made your log. Also, ~10 TPS reading at idle is correct for a 1g, but you are having issues when going WOT. It should read ~100%, so that's the next thing that needs fixed.

When tuning WOT, log RPM, IDC, timing, knock and front O2 only (O2-R when dealing with MMcd). That will maximize the number of samples per second and make tuning much easier.
