HELP !! Fuel/boost cut


  • #16
    Correct They are the only mods. I just replaced the fpr the PO had in there with a turbosmart 800

    I don’t have a stock fpr

    Other than the fuel cut the car idles and run fine in vacuum? Have you checked the POV? I would just put a cap from the NA or pipe fitting if possible.

    Car runs fine at idle, I removed the POV and capped I’m still getting this cut. I don’t no what else it could be

    I’m more curious about your symptoms. When you say cuts out and no longer makes boost, does it seem like it just stalls or shuts down or does it continue up into the rpm range and just not make power? I was thinking maybe your waste gate was stuck open. Can you rev the engine under no load through the rpm range? Just blipping the throttle?

    Ive seen many rusty wastegate arms and was wondering if it may be hanging up some.

    it just stalls and shuts down but the car does not turn off, once it comes back off pressure/load it will run again. I can rev the engine under no load through the rpm range and it is fine.

    Are you sure your ignition system is in good shape. Good coil and good spark plugs and wires?

    I’m thinking it is fuel related based on the pressure readings from the gage. Could there be a restriction in the fuel line somewhere that restricts flow? I’m thinking a crushed fuel line, clogged filter, or gummed up sock in the tank.

    My my thought is that you arent getting the flow you wed to the injectors to support the fuel needed on boost.
