I don't know what happened to my car.
It was driving fine today.
Maybe a lil bogging?
Heres some info:
KA24DE
GT28r
N60 maf
370cc injectors
s15 fuel pump.

The car starts up just fine, no problem.
Idles too high [around 2k]
then all of a sudden starts to die.
it kinda sounds like all the cylinders arent firing when it starts to die.
RPMs drop until it stalls.

I checked the plugs.
They were all dry and looked normal.

I unplugged the maf.
Only difference is, the car doesn't die now.
It will still idle at 2k but it will continually drop to 1.5k then back up to 2k and repeat.

If someone already knows whats up or can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

btw. If someone in socal has a compression tester and wouldn't mind coming by, I would appreciate it.

I have a compression tester. As for the idling issue, if you have been running rich for awhile possible o2 sensor and plugs are fouled. Vaccum leaks can also do that. I also have a homemade boost leak tester. My friend and I are working on his motor tomorrow your welcome to stop by to use the tools. GL!

you are running on the lean side
causes: Vacuum leak, fuel pump, fuel filter, fpr, your soldering for the N60 too much resistance in wire, maybe some other stuff that I cant think of right now
