Help! - CEL + Fuel-cut
Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues with my FD
It's almost stock, just has a downpipe, no air-pump, a Forge mechanical boost controller, and a boost gauge
The boost controller and gauge were only installed with the downpipe, to keep the boost down to 12psi
So, the issue is the following... engine starts perfectly, car pulls nicely as well... but after about 10 or 15 minutes of driving, I get a CEL. Now with the CEL, I get fuel-cut whenever the engine tries to build boost. With the CEL on, the boost gauge won't go over 0psi without hitting fuel-cut
Any ideas on what may be causing this? Maybe it's entering some kind of limp-mode or something?
I look forward to any recommendations or feedback
Cheers,

If you can see the CEL, then you have a North American version of the FD? If so, start by pulling the codes:
Check Engine Light Codes
Check Engine Light Codes
I thought the stock fuel-cut was at about 12.5psi

Depends on the rpm.. However, fuel cut doesn't throw a CEL so if that is lighting up you need to understand why that is happening first. It could be they are related problems (i.e. figuring out the CEL fixes the cut out you are getting) but take one thing at a time.

Thanks a lot Mahjik, will check what the CEL tells me ASAP
