the moon,
Maine
The other day I was cruising at around 50mph, I dumped it in 3rd and put it to the carpet to pass another car and there was a loud bang/noise and the car didnt go anywhere. At first I thought it was a backfire but now im not sure. It doesnt do it everytime just lets say 3 out of five times and only in third gear at WOT. The boost gauge says 14-15 in 3rd so im not creeping at least bad its on the stock BCS with the restricter yanked out. Is this fuel cut or does it sound like a boost leak, my idle is a little erratic not bad but definetly a little erratic. The car doesnt smoke or anything and it pulls hard in every other gear. Im going to be putting in a walbro 190 with a rewire kit and change the fuel filter this weekend in case its running outta gas up top and im gonna do a BLT. I have my logging stuff coming but unfortuneatly I got sent a Palm Tungsten E2 instead of the M500 and I think its not compatible. Please help with any theories....
My ideas are
Fuel cut, maybe take out the lower honeycomb???
Running out of fuel up top...need bigger pump/new filter
boost leak? would it cause this?
Computer taking a dump and causing phantom fuel cut?
my mods
Hacked mas, the lower honey comb is still in.
Dejon intake pipe
2.5"VRS Turbo back exhaust
BCS removed
most free mods done
Autometer cobalt boost and water temp gauges
new NGK plugs and wires.
