My Galant has been basically sitting for the last 2 and a half to 3 years. I started having issues with it maybe 4 months after I bought it. I couldnt figure out what was going on so I took it to STM in Rochester. They have been working on it for the last two days almost nonstop and they cant figure out what is wrong with the car either.
I was experiencing a bad stutter onder WOT after about 12 pounds of boost. Nice and smooth before that while under partial throttle( like maybe 50%) and below 5000RPM. STM is saying that they cant even tune the car because of this stuttering problem when they hit 3psi or so. They add a FPR and some of the stutter goes away. Enough to try to tune it. They get up to 20psi and are only making 200hp and the car still has a stutter. What could cause this?
Mods are: Rebuilt engine with stock everything right around 10xxx miles, 750cc injectors(thinking this might be the issue. They were in the car when I bought it and before I bought the car it sat for a few years.) Supra fuel pump, Cold air intake, 3" exhaust, Spearco 2-178 FMIC, and ECM Link.
Please help. If I cant figure out whats going on with the car very soon Im going to have to sell it because I need a vehicle and I cant afford to keep dumping money into the Galant right now.
Thanks everyone
