My car is stalling!!!
Ok here is the deal!! On warm up my car runs just fine.. after hitting operating temp it starts to hesitate almost stalling(only under throttle)tach just falls..When i floor it just goes dead and then starts to sputter back to life before doing it again....when i take my foot off of it after flooring it will go back to idle like nothing happened. It does not have to be at full throttle to do this.
Iam leaning toward a fuel pump.

Changed all filters regarding fuel...Also when it does this if i stop and pull the egi and head fuse it seems to quit for a lil while before starting again, Leads me to believe it could be goin into limp mode. But how>??

Thats the strange thing it isn't!! I was at a parking lot when it started doing this so i stopped pulled the egi and head fuses while it was running then pu them back in started and ran fine. For a lil bit then back to the same ole ****!!!

Iam thinkin omp pump do they have a rep for going out??? Because it might do it for lil bit then quit and i can boost to redline without a problem....
yea, the s5 OMPs are pretty sheitty.... but if it were the OMP causing it to limp out two things would happen:
1) a CEL would be thrown
2) the car would be limping until you restarted it.
That's what happened when mine went out.
Sounds like some hardcore hesitation man, I would check all the grounds, especially the ECU, and then take a look at those secondary injectors; check the electric connections, check the rail, check how they fit.

Yea also thought the fuel pump could be the culprit...but that would rule out it doing it on the highway and then going back to normal like nothing happened. Maybe???
Also if i keep the throttle at the special spot it will drive but the wideband is showing lean as hell!!!!! 16 plus!!!

so it's like this then: you floor it on the highway and it falls flat on it's face, then after a second it's fine, and you can cruise like nothing happened? I am so sticking to the secondary injectors.

Yes this did occur before and i was like dammit so i redid them aand still here i sit!!! Also if was them it would do it all the time not just every now and then....Looks like i will be buying a new fp maybe!! hahah....Also I unhooked the omp connections and felt the way it drove and it is awfully simular!!
yea, I thought that was confusing... on the s5's the pulsation dampener is integrated onto the fuel rail. It absorbs pulsations in the rail from injectors opening and closing.... keeping the rail evenly pressurized. I'd check the secondary rail as being the primary culprit here, but indeed check the primary injectors as well.
