i kno engine problems are scary, i was 20 miles away from my house when my threw my rods in my n/a
and i was in a baaaaad neighborhood
so it was either i limp it home
or im gonna go home limping

but the crapping your pants??
can you imagine going back to the crowd back on the line after you won a race
then pple will see that you jus laid fudgy in your wedgie
there's at least a hundred pple in here every weekend

so it gets you to think which one is worst
youre engine hitting a brick wall
or
crapping yourself in front of a hundred pple?

supra girl, I viewed your pinout diagram for installing a fuel cut defencer, I don't understand the harness side and ecu side. also does the defencer have to for specific for my car or will a universal work?

gomez: don't you have misfiring and/or PROBLEMS with your mk3?

why on earth are you installing a fcd?
do you fully understand what a fcd does?

Yes my car sounds like its has a rev limiter cut out and I get less of a rev limit problem with less boost so and I do have a high volume intake system which is giving me a fuel cut out earlier than normal. It's the only thing I can think of right now. I know fcd changes when the fuel cut comes in so that why I think its the fcd giving me these sounds like a rev limiter is kicking in. Just to make it clear, I know what a rev limiter sounds like and it sounds like a somewhat misfire/backfire.

^ and exactly

for this problem you don't buy a fcd
it will not solve your problems

it will move clamp fuel cut, you'll up the boost, the ecu can't supply enough fuel for the boost you will then run then you'll blow it up

not something you want to do i imagine

the only thing that i can suggest really is new plug leads and make sure your clutch isn't slipping which is causing you to hit rev cut quickly

the day you hit fuel cut, you will know it and you have not hit it ;)

edit: so what does it feel like? fast bap bap bap bap bap
or does the car shut down for a second?

just an intake will not cause you to hit fuel cut
you need alot more mods to cause the problem at low boost

what is your stock boost level and what are you trying to run?

Then how come other people say they hit fuel cut at 8psi.

that other ppl is me

and you still need more than an intake for it to hit low ;)

k lets get this straight lol

what does it feel like, shut down or bap bap bap

what mods have you done
and i want all the mods exactly what you have done

like what?

what do you mean

like what?

what modifications have you done - engine wise

I have full 2.5 intercooler piping, aftermarket intercooler, stock boost is 6 psi and it didn't cut then but when I raise the boost, it cut outs. the car does a bap bap bap noise.for sure the clutch is not slipping.
