another problem

[turbojitsu85]

OK I had the car tuned in with a scan tool Sunday and it was running good but I noticed a coolant leak from the thermostat housing. I replaced the gasket today and stopped the leak and from a dead stop when I slam on the accelerator the car stutters and even dies sometimes. It runs fine except for that. Tomorrow I'm going to take off the thermostat housing again and check for anything out of the ordinary. What might cause this?

it might not have anything to do with the housing. Maybe a wire close to the coil pack might have been tampered with when you replaced the gasket.

did you ever get this resolved ?

Unfortunatley not. I was putting a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail and snapped off the shradder(sp) valve. So I had to replace the whole fuel rail and I figured why the hell not do the alky kit now while I have the turbo off. So as of now the car is sitting there waiting for me to finish the alky install.
