Big Problems

Well to clarify the problem that i am having, I turn to the gurus and other respected members of this forum to help me out.

Before i Go any further mods are as follows:
Intake
Header
exhuast
Ported IM
bored Fuel rail
pulley
Cam
Piggyback v2
Spark Plug wires
testpipe


The car keeps shutting off at red lights, stops, etc..Started about sunday, so i took off my ground kit (thinking theres a bad wire) and put on the regular cables to the battery.

Monday still shutting off and im starting to notice that no matter what speed im going, When i press the clutch, the rpm's drop all the way down and shuts off...So im very frustrated as it is.

So i go ahead and buy new spark plugs and coil packs and install them.But no luck..and i also am noticing that it only seems to do it when the engine is already warmed up....For example, it will run fine when its cold but then 5 mins later when the engine is warm it shuts off..

To top it off, this morning on my way to 2 finals, my damn cd player and clock in my car surprisingly shut off and are not working..I buy new fuses but still no luck.

HELP!!!

Does it idle really low and rough trying to staying running and then just dies out? Or does it instantly die out just as quick as it turned on?

Just bring your car to your local dealership and they will check your car which your car should cover under warranty.

You stated that you removed your ground wire kit. Are you 100% sure that the factory ground wires are connected and in the correct locations?

have you checked (and rechecked) your ground? I would also look at your charging circuit. Then your battery. The clock and CD shutting off, was that while it was running or with just the key on?

It is possible that you have a intermittant short in the system somewhere that is killing your power.

Hope this helps.

i say remove your piggy. I had similar problems with mine installed. Although you may want to retune it, you have a decent amount of mods, so it'd probably be a good idea to retune for them.
