# The problem
Friday night as I’m driving car just start cut power like spark or fuel delivery issue and at some point, it just stops working. I was able to start the car but if i leave it in idle it just stops. If I keep RPM over ~2500 its fine.
# What we have checked:
1. Sparks - They were fine
2. Engine compression - its fine all cylinders are between 140 - 145
3. Disconnect battery for 15mins to reset everything
4. Change sparks with others - car start and it's working fine
- At some point start to cut power again.
There are no strange engine sounds (also compression is fine)
There is no strange smoke like white death or very black on its normal
I was able to log the issue with EvoScan <> Tactrix ... you can check logs below. The problem is it did it just once so I’m not sure if someone can catch it. Maybe some more experienced ECU tuner can catch it as throttle is opened, pedal is pressed but the car cut power.
We think is some spark connections problems and now car is at the tuning center to try catch it.
# Re produce:
Its hard to re-produce it but lets say i catch its doing it on 3rd gear and when i try to step on the pedal but its not doing it every time.
# Video of the problem - that’s not me but the issue is the same i don’t have video of my problem
It seems this air mesh in picture below f1cked up AIR income from there AFR was over 25 which cause the problems. Somehow from vibrations it got smaller and at some point just fell on one side which cause total wrong air from there AFR problems. I will drive this days to be 100% sure that the problem.
