well...i thought i had all the bugs figured out. anyways the car will run fine at the start then run rich til it warms up. it will run fine for 10-15 mins then out of nowhere it will dump gas. then sometime later the a/f will be great again. i cleaned out the plugs which helped a little. i checked for boost leaks and everything is super tight. the injectors are huge 785cc, i checked for leaks there and nothing. i got it narrowed down to the maf or fpr. does anyone know if nismo fprs go bad? i noticed when the car is idling rich the fpr gauge is flicking back and forth. the maf wires got quick disconnect plugs, i guess i should solder that. any help would be awesome.

I have seen fuel pump regulators go bad and I doubt one brand makes them better than any other.

Solder the MAF correctly and see what that yields.

i've been looking around about bad fprs. should there always be constant pressure when the car is off? i have a nismo fpr and with the overly large injectors, i keep pressure between 25-30 psi. i have my plugs gapped at .027, maybe bring it down to .025?
