So I was with my brother yesterday on some twisties and I decided to push the car maybe 7/10th's or so. She was running fantastic until we got to this hill that was maybe a 2 mile climb at 7% or so. When we got near the top all of a sudden the car lost power and started stuttering like crazy! I immediately took the load off of it and started creeping. The car still held an idle, but if you put any load on the motor the stuttering came back. Thankfully we were only an 1/8th mile from the house. I parked it and popped the hood. That thing had mad heat coming out, but was not overheating at all. I let it sit for maybe half an hour and started it back up. It idled smooth, so I took it for a nice long coast down that big hill to try to cool it off some more and since then I haven't had an issue. It made a 30 mile drive back to my house last night with no problems and a 25 mile drive this morning to work with no problems. She was boosting fine and not a stutter even once! Am I right to assume that maybe my "new" 8.5mm wires got too hot and started arcing to the block? Any other thoughts?? Thanks everyone!
