Quick and simple. My car is having some odd problems and I can't figure out what it was. Here are the symptoms. If anyone can help, thanks alot!

-Car can't idle well. It idles at about ~400rpms and sometimes it just shuts off.

-When I take a turn, it turns off.

-If I shift, the car will shut off.

-The other day I floored the car to ~6500 rpms and then throttle response stopped. The car kept running but the rpms kept lowering and nothing I could do would keep them up. The car finally came to a stop, and when I proceeded to pump the gas, the rpms lingered around ~900-1200rpms and then kinda choked and died.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Thanks in advance.

-Eliel

Bad MAF's possibly. Check your ECU for codes.

Check your fuel pressure as well. A new Fuel filter would not hurt...and look over all your vacuum hoses.

If you figure it out, be sure to keep me posted! My SR is doing exactly what you have posted here ever since I installed it.

Itzgen, check your vacuum lines, make sure your intercooler piping is sealed, and finally, check the mafs wiring, and take a good long look at the wires going to the ECU (AT the ecu) make sure theres no disconnections
