OK.So heres my problem.I drove to work today and the car ran fine,Drove to lunch and it ran fine.I get in it to go home and pulling out on to the road I barely give it gas and it hits what feels like fuel cut.Any time i get around 4k rpms it does this.It did it at 2 to 3k rpms after driving for about 20 minutes then stopped and started only doing it at 4k rpms again.It does it at any load factor and weather I'm in boost or vacuum.Its left me scratching my head.I've check for loose connections on the cam,maf,injector plugs,plug wire on the spark plug and coil,Still the same issue.heres a list of mods.
e316g,650cc injectors,3 inch turbo back,fmic,190 lph,ecm link v3 lite,wideband...Not logged.Thats it I think.Any ideas I would appreciate.I'm thinking it may be the cam sensor,but would it run at all if the cam sensor was bad?
 
OK. So heres my problem. I drove to work today and the car ran fine, Drove to lunch and it ran fine. I get in it to go home and pulling out on to the road I barely give it gas and it hits what feels like fuel cut. Any time i get around 4k rpms it does this. It did it at 2 to 3k rpms after driving for about 20 minutes then stopped and started only doing it at 4k rpms again. It does it at any load factor and when I'm in boost or vacuum. Its left me scratching my head.

I've checked for loose connections on the cam, maf, injector plugs, plug wire on the spark plug and coil. Still the same issue. Heres a list of mods - e316g, 650cc injectors, 3 inch turbo back, fmic, 190 lph, ecm link v3 lite, and a wideband.

First off, is your effing space bar broken or what. I had to edit this paragraph just to understand what all you even said..WTF

First things first, have you done a BLT (Boost Leak Test)?? If not, do it and check back.
 
Yes.No boost leaks,and that is spaced.If it wasn't, I'm sure the spell check would have went nuts.
I see what you're talking about now. Spaces after the punctuation?.
 
Well then you need to start spacing after every sentence! You space between words but not after you finish a sentence.

Have you done a re-wire for your pump, could definitely be maxing out that 190 with a set of 650's and a EVO3 16G. What does your wideband read when your in these scenarios. You really should post a log so someone can verify your tune and what not to see if that could be the issue.

Edit - yes spaces after your punctuations! :)
 
+1 on the boost leak test...heck, it is probably best to do a boost leak test every time you even look at the intercooler piping the wrong way LOL. Nonetheless, the fact that engine load is NOT a factor would typically point me toward ignition related. Best to start by taking out your spark plugs, even if they're 50 miles old or 5000 miles old...and replace them if the look even a little crappy. After that, I would check the connections for your cam sensor, crank sensor, ignition module and coil pack assembly. I know you said you already checked them, but do it again, and look for corrosion too ### that can cause intermittent issues.
