Okay I have recently replaced the alternator, battery, spark plugs, and retuned the car. Today I am driving I go to shift from 2nd to 3rd at 5k rpm's and the car dies. :dizzy: Not just losses power but dies completely. I am not sure why yet. I get a jump and the car starts running again. I however can not break 2k rpm's the car is misfiring horribly, I smell fuel, and it completely blacked out my plugs. I am thinking ignition coil due to the rough starts but I feel it has to be more. Anything else that could cause this ? I am ordering new NGK wires now. Any chance the motor might have lost compression ?

check those intercooler hose couplings first and check the maf to make sure it didnt disconnect itself.

A ton of work, but it's better, just need to order some wires and good to go.

vacuum leak, popped off at shift or something

That would make sense but that wasn't the case. I am just replacing and troubleshooting everything. The owner before me hacked the hell out of this car. :facepalm:
