i live in vallejo, think i've seen your car parked somewhere on the curb in front of some business or something. forgot the street, somewhere near sonoma i think.

did you reset the ecu? what about changing your fuel filter or getting your injectors cleaned. thats all i can think of

first put the cat back on.

where did you get the PFC?
who tuned it?
what do you mean by "it was running funny with the PFC"?

I suspect the PFC isn't tuned to your mods hence the "running funny". In that case its safer to run it on the stock ECU and keep boost under 10 PSI as its safer.

I think its still cutting off your fuel. I had this happen to my evo and I got a boost controller and it solved the problem. You get boost peaks because of the colder weather.

Wow. You have too many mods for the stock ECU to compensate properly.

End of story.

Good day.
