TTA cuts out at random RPM's

K

kodiakws6

I just bought the car last weekend and now it decided to start cutting out on me while driving down the e-way. i've been messin with it for the last week on my spare time trying to figure out what happened. I replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, O2 sensor, and also used a known good module and coil assembly. Just wonderin if anybody had an experience similar to mine or had any ideas. Thanx
 
Excactly how is your car acting? Is it under hard acceleration or cruise?

Checked the Y-connection and hoses around it? It?s located just under the turbo.....into the centre of the engine.
How is the fuel pressure?
Checked the IAC?
 
The car will cut out at idle in any gear or P/N. It acts worse under heavy acceleration but it will do it just cruising. I can give it staedy throttle to 2000 RPM and it will cut out and drop to 1750 RPM. There didn't appear to be any cracks or holes in the hoses at or by the Y-connection, fuel pressure is set at 44psi, and I haven't looked at the IAC.
 
Uhhhh.....that?s more than i know then...... :(
Sorry to hear about such a strange failure.....hope you can get more help from some one else here.
 
check all grounds.( wire strap chasis etc) and check the positive wire that feeds from the battery to the starter good luck mike
 
Thanx for the input, but I did finally figure out the problem. I had the car running and decided to wack the MAF with the handle of a screwdriver. As soon as I did that the car almost died, replaced the MAF with a used one and the problem was gone. I'm getting the MAF translator in the next few months to solve a majority of my problems. :D
