Help Help Help!!!!!!!
****!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all i can say man, ok here is what happend. Last night my buddy and i decided to go at it on the highway with his mustang with headers and exhaust, with my car with midpipe downpipe and i guess i can say custom made catback exhaust because there is a 2 and half inch piping from the midpipe to the muffer and there is one tip. Anyway i decided to roll the guy in third gear, so we did, we take off and i can hear he's really pushing the pedal, i was in third at the time and i didnt no what speed we were taking off but here is where my problem began, in third i noticed that my car was ideling at a high rev but it wasnt moving fast so when i stomped on the pedal my car wasnt picking up any power and the harder pushed the pedal in third i start to hit fuel cut at like 5000 rpm, so then i hit fourth and hit the pedal hard trying to catch the stang because i'am already set back with the high ideling speed in third that in 4rth i didnt gain at all and at a tap of the throttle my revs were already at 4500 rpm!! so i hit the pedal harder and notice fuel cut again at 5000rpm!!!!so i drop it in 5th and try to make up now that i'am about half a car length behined and notice the fuel cut again! at 5000 rpm!!!!!! What hell is going on!!!!! For a long time i have been trying to tell people here on the forum that when ever i'am in each gear i feel that at a tap of the throttle my revs keep climbing put the car isnt moving as quick as it is spinning. So I end up losing to a car that i should easly destroy on the highway. Please someone diagnose my problem, I'am in a state of depression
OK.
First of all, big no-no for racing when your car is having problems. Secondly, after hitting fuel-cut not once but twice, you KEPT racing?
Do you have a boost gauge? With a downpipe, midpipe, and cat-back, you could easily be hitting 13-14 psi. This will give you fuel-cut with the stock ecu. What other mods are you running?
