Hello guy, got a problem I'm trying to track down, I have #1510 and just picked it up from a long time friend...I've known this car for over 8 years, and finally ended up buying the car...here is the issue...car sat for a couple of years until I got it...put a brand new battery in it, and refreshed it, and starts and idles perfect....now the issue is under half throttle it will rev thru the powerband, but if you stab the throttle, it cuts out and will go no farther.....the previous owner said the alt died on the way home 2 years ago, and he put a used alt in it....so I let it sit for the night, and the next morning...battery is dead as a door nail...now its a brand new battery...he also has the battery in the trunk and made it so you can jump it from the front...and this is the kicker...it runs the same with the battery disconnected as when its connected....so I did a boost leak, and found 2 leaks...that have been fixed, yet it still is doing the same thing....I'm thinking its still the alt, although I have not tested the output of it yet...thanks to the weather...i'm correct in saying that dsm's hate not having a steady 12-13 volts at all times....so has anyone else come across this issue?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help...if anyone wants to see a vid of what its doing pm me
Mod list is this, spearco front mount, HKS boz, 2g maf, full d/p and exhaust, and it did have some kind of tuning either software of chipped ecu, got the cable in the glove box...I'm trying to find out what it was from the former owner, and 510 or 550 injectors
Cheers
Marc
