i have a '96 GT w/ the fte conversion done. the car came like it is, and needless to say, i don't know just a whole lot about it. when i am not really accelerating, and not really slowing sown, the engine cuts in and out, almost performing like it is running out of gas. i have been told that it might be due to the stock ECU that i am still running. just wondering what you guys thought a/b it.

well, first we need some details.
what size injectors does it have, and what are you using for fuel management. it is more than likley caused by the car not being properly tuned. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

stock injectors (5sfe) i am not sure of the size. stock computer for the engine management. from what i have been able to gather, the guy that was putting this project together was only part of the way finished. i came by the car after it was sold...b/c of his death. i would love to finish it, but don't know where to go from here... i don't really know what i am looking at.

without knowing what truley was done to the car, its going to be VERY difficult for any of us to help you.
i'd start by taking some VERY detailed pictures of your engine bay. oil lines, injectors, manifold/turbo/dp..good detailed pictures of that stuff. make a list of stuff you DO know is on the car. any electronics? gauges? you are in for a long hard road with lots of issues if you dont know anything about the car. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
