We'd obviously need much more info than that. Is it reproducable, how did it cut out? Did boost cut out or fuel? How long was it? Does it do it in other gears? Come on, you gave us almost nothing...

old spark plugs? Could be a slight misfire.

well i started a thread about this but there was some misunderstanding going on.. but i am pretty sure its the ecu that was causing the fuel cut since i am still on stock tune.. and I WILL get a dynotune by Al on Jan. 13th.

its pretty wierd tho, because when it happened... i was on stock tune and stock fuel pump... but when i purchased my walbro... installed it and took it out for a test drive adjusted my MBC to 17 psi (it was 15psi before) and did a 3rd gear pull...

the car ran smooth all the way up close to 6k then it pauses for 2 seconds and the car kept on going. after that, i just turned my mbc down to 15 again.. and drove my car normally.

I thought that after adding the fuel pump would decrease the chance of having a fuel cut while running stock boost.. but i guess not... i guess i have more air flowing and dont have as much fuel flowing in on my stock map. but the car is going for a tune on jan. and ill post up details then!
