So. I bought my car in January. I knew the original owner since about 2 years after he had the gn.
he did a frame off resto and had the car running 12's consecutively.
Car sat for 10 years. Over the years he had ran it and had told me about issues it had.
No biggie.
He sold it.
They traded it to another buddy. Neither of them knew shit about what they had, just knew it was badass.
I have it now.
I have never had a running issue like tonight before. I have put at least 200 miles on the car trying to work out bugs. Even drove it one night a few weeks ago for two hours without an issue.
The other guys said something about a backfire . I had the backfire a few times, but it would always stay running or restart quickly then be fine.
SO, of course I have been busy working. Its woodward weekend.
I take my car to the girlfriends house. First about 8 miles into the 14 mile journey The Car starts acting up. Backfiring. Then no power, then out of nowhere it's like a 12 second rocket. Then POP. back to running like shit.
Odd, never had this issue like this before.
So, barely make it to gfs house.
Trying to look car over.Didnt see anything odd. In the middle of looking under the hood I got inside the cockpit. Got out, the door slammed shit. SHIT FML. Somehow the lock was pushed down. I can see the keys. Fml. I want to set the car on fire at this point but I didn't. I really did think about it. I won't lie.
A lot of breaths. I remember I have triple a. But mancard employs itself >> > I slimjim the car with a hanger. Cool keys out. Car is not acting bitchy.
Go to drive home 2 hours later. Car is a total asshole. I make more people look at me when it backfires than ikf I was waving my handgun outside the window while honking the horn.
May I express that I have never had these issues before. I was warned about the backfire and that it runs like shit, but never never had this issue till woodward weekend.
I honestly thought about catching the bitch on fire. I won't lie... Then sanity set in. I love the car. I wanted it since before I could drive.
So.
I have a new engine side harness. I have a new ignition module, a coil, non mag tho.. I have been wanting to buy new injector set and chip, just thought I would have the time but didn't.
It seems like the ecu is dropping the reading for the cam. Is this a plausable issue?
Previous owner said it would do this once in a while but he couldn't trace the issue because at the track it rand straight. My car was set up for track runs.
I can get on it full throttle when the issue is happening and it will clear up and give it hell. I mean crazy fast as hell to the balls. Just unless you give it hell when the issue happens it will basically run like shit and stall.
If you give it hell when this is happening and then let off it will stall.
This is a too long didn't read post.
TLDR.
I lost myself somewhere too.
I am sorry. But I am lost.
Tomorrow I am attaching the fuel pressure gauge and taping it to my windshield as I saw the O2Mv drop to 090. and less at times.
I am going to swap the parts I have on hand. minus the entire engine harness and seewhat happens.
I might even swap the engine harness,although by the measurements its not a harness issue.
Shit. My luck sucks. Of course, till now car ran great.
For two hours straight even. Fml.
