Fuel Cut

[socrswm]

Hey guys, this may be a noob question, but what does it feel like when you hit fuel cut? I'm trying to diagnose a problem. Thanks

like you hit a brick wall. Its kinda like you hit the brakes but then power comes right back

 

[speed1016]

Yep... Pretty much like doing 60mph and doing a quick brake check

 

[socrswm]

Awesome, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. What's the best way to get rid of it?

+1, these cars fuel cut for a reason. Chances are he is not fuel-cutting because of too much power.

Check everything from your sparkplug and wires to intake/intercooler pipes and vacuum lines to your exhaust. Sounds like you have a lead somewhere.

Pmd you about your fuel cut.

How much boost are you hitting and do you have a wideband?

 

[socrswm]

Only hitting about 4-5 psi boost before it starts up, and no I don't have a wideband yet. It and ems are on my list of things to get. I just installed a new intercooler so that's probably the culprit. I haven't been able to find a leak in any of the connections or lines thus far, though
