for those who havent read in my other threads.... my car idles high when started cold, once it is warm it drops down to 3 or 4 hundred RPMs and bounces back up every few seconds to about 1200 rpm..(did not really let it warm up enough for you to see it bog all the way down to 300 rpm)

when you rev the engine it revs fine untill 5000 rpm then makes a really horrable noise like it revs PAST 7000 RPMs but on the tach the needle never goes past 5000.... and it does this by itself like once it gets to 5000 rpm i let out but it does the horrable over rev on its own. (did not do this in the video cause ive only done it twice and it just sounds like it hurts the motor)

now if you just hold the throttle down at any level at a free rev(in neutral) it just cuts in and out in and out (shown in video)

when you take it for a drive it goes up to like 2500 rpm and then cuts out no matter what gear then it will cut back in then out then in ect.,,,, but if you just mash the throttle down it runs fine turbo builds 9 pnds and everything seems ok..... as soon as you go back to driving it normall it goes back to cutting in and out in and out...(shown in video) i dont say it every time but every time you see the camera getting all jerked around the car cut out

i have changed the plugs, i have checked the idle screw and replaced the O ring under it, ive replaced the MAF, ISC, and IAC,( those three sensors are parts i got from a junkyard ) i have taken the throttle body off cleaned it and replaced gaskets, i have checked all my vaccume hoses for leaks but only with my eyes not with leak tester... did the BISS adjustment wich had no affect on the car

have not been getting any CELs untill tonight when i recorded the video and it only blinked a few times i think...

ive only had the car for maybe 2 weeks... this is so devistating for me, all i want is a DSM.... please help:ohdamn:

i forgot to menchin that in order for it to run fine while driving i have to dump the clutch a lil but.... (this is why i did the burn out, not cause i wanted to but cause i had to just to get going)

sorry i forgot to turn the gauges on at first
 
:rocks: GO BIG RED :rocks:
i just had to throw that out there...

since you just got the car you've got to go through that engine bay with a fine tooth comb. wires not connected, loose connectors, vacuum lines not going anywhere, etc... also try replacing your engine coolant temp. sensor on your thermostat housing, heres a picture so you can quickly find it. once you've looked at everything do a boost leak test. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/169435-boost-leak-test-how-boostpro-net-tester.html

I dont know the exact characteristics for my brothers problem with his dsm, but i remember him talking about a fuel cut at 5k rpm, Its a long time ago, i dont know how his idle was but i remember him talking about leaking capacitors in the ecu, he replaced them and the fuel cut was gone.
I am no dsm specialist, so I cant help you any further, but it might give you an idea what to look for.
