D'oh. Problem on boost/ low vac conditions
I had a feeling creating a thread about my 951 that wasn't about a problem would bite me in the ***.
I was driving my car and noticed I was low on gas (approx 1/4 tank) so I pulled into the local getty and got $20 of 92 octane. About 5-10 minutes later I would start sputtering on boost or any throttle position resulting in less than 8" ish vac. The car still runs great off-boost.
I have a new FPR, FPD, fuel filter, injectors. The vac line to the FPR is still connected (and I also have 20" vac @ idle) I had a similar problem about 2 months ago after driving for <40 minutes. Oddly enough it went away and I have taken the car on many long drives without a hiccup...
I'm suspecting fuel pump (like I did before) - anyone have any thoughts? Anyone ever have an intermittent problem like this (or are they even related?) I don't think its a DME/chip/wiring issue (knock on wood) but am open to any thoughts.
