sooo i recently swapped rb25det into my 1989 s13.. no big mods just fmic, walbro, fpr, full exhaust... as im driving usually in third gear i do a quick pull and it shuts off.. turns right back on no problems. anybody know why its shutting off ? might be timing, car isnt idling like it should also

Download the FSM and check all of your connections that has something to do with idle like tps, mat, adjust your idle per FSM and go from there. I know mine cut off after running for a while due to bad battery ground from chassis to battery.

Good luck

Does it do it after car is at normal operatin temp? Does it happen when cars still cold? The reason I ask is because a MAF will cause that issue before it dies out. Your showing the begining of maf death. It will die when coming off a load. Easy to restart but Will keep shutting off when driving untill carcis cold again. Keep us posted
