I've searched and searched trying to figure out this problem im having. I have a 96 gsx with the 6bolt engine. Under acceleration the turbo pulls good and i have the boost set at 15psi. However the engine feels like its tached out even at low rpms and has a whining sound when i press the gas. Wot is not possible because if i do the car will pop real loud (white puff of smoke comes out) and then i have to replace my plug wires (its not fuel cut as i know what it does and feels like when that happens). After it does that my car will die randomly after i drive it for a while.. i'll sit still for 30-45min and then it will start back up like nothing happened. It can die sitting at a redlight or driving 60 down the hwy but usually only does it once a day until recently. 2 days ago it died and after an hour i got it started again.. drove 1 mile and it died on me again and then i left it sitting for a few hours and i was able to drive it home after that. I thought i fixed the issue one day cause i found a vacuum line that was broke in half.. i didn't have the vacuum line to fix it so i cut it off and just attached it back on. the car was back to normal for one day. the next morning i started her up and went to the store. same thing happened. the gas peddle was hard to press in and the engine started back with the whining and felt tached out. i feel like i cant take it over 4k rpms without messing something up. i went to advanced and bought a new vacuum line and replaced the old one. this time it didn't fix anything.

The things i have replaced.. Fuel filter, vacuum line, pcv valve, air filter, new ngk plugs & wires. I can't afford to keep on replacing random stuff. I've asked several people what it could be.. i've been told it could be the coil pack, egr valve, tps sensor, and a few other things that i cant remember. Please any help would be much appreciated!
 
It does sound like a coilpack.. When it gets hot, something in the coilpack shuts down.. I had a street bike that did the same thing, when it warmed up it would shut off, let it sit for a while and it would start back up.. Changed the coil packs on the bike, never did it again.. Try another coil pack and it might fix your problem.. Good luck!!
