for the most part my engine runs pretty well. however, it will cut out from time to time. Feels like a complete loss of spark for about a second or two then picks back up again. Seems like this only happens when the engine is still cold. Every once in awhile the spark won't pick back up and it just dies. When this happens the engine will not crank as well.
Another is that the other day when the engine was still cold it would not let me give much throttle once it would build boost. It felt very similar to a rev limiter that retards timing, however if I backed back down to say a quarter throttle it would continue to climb through the upper RPM's. this also felt like a spark issue.
Lastly, the engine doesn't generally just fire right up, it kind of sputters to life. It may be possible that all three of these are related. I still need to research how spark and ignition are run on this engine.
