Fuel cutoffs on highway accelerations?
Hi!
I recently changed the fuel filter and the DME relay on my 951. Since then, fuel cutoffs often occur when accelerating hard (full throttle) in 3rd, 4th or 5th gear. It never happens in 1st and 2nd gears. When the first one occurs, the other ones occur even faster and with a bit less throttle. By fuel cut offs, I mean that the fuel pressure drops enough to give a really hard blow, but not enough to stall. If I keep the throttle floored when they occur, the fuel cut off will give repetitive blows staying at about the same speed.
Can it be related to a faulty fuel filter or a faulty DME relay? If so, how can I establish the real problem beetween both? Even if it looks like a bad fuel pump, I really don't think that it could have gone wrong EXACTLY when I changed both parts.
Thanks alot,
