ok so i was driving my car yesterday and i have a really baller fan/ cooling set up and my temp needle was touching the C on the gauge. so i got on it a few times and it felt fine. after getting on it the temp started to go up to where it normally sits. just barely above the C. then i got on it again and midway threw 5th gear it felt like fuel cut or something and threw me forward. i thought i blew a charge pipe but i checked and it was fine. so i get on it one more time. and instead of just stopping the car felt quick but it would lurch and feel kinda jumpy threw the revs.

now i dont think its fuel cut cause im running tomei 555cc injectors and a protune. 16psi so i know the injectors arent maxed out. maf is fine. brand new coolent temp sensor. timing is set.all i can think is the spark plugs might be fouled or something like that.

and yes i searched.

you didnt say whether u had a bigger fuel pump, if ur running the oem pump on 16psi, then yea ur are hitting fuel cut, turn it down to 12-14 and u should be good unless it spikes and then u may hit it every once and a while

no offense but i think id have to be high to do all that work and get bigger injectors and tuned and everything and not realize i needed a bigger fule pump.

i pulled my spark plugs out and replaced them and its running good now.
