Having sputtering/stalling problems
Well as some of you may know from my previous post, I went racing sunday, on a day that probably couldn't have been any more beautiful. The first car down the track, a Supra, ended up in the wall just shy of the 1/8 mile. He couldn't have been 19 or 20 yrs old. So that delayed us running. They finally got the track open and I got my slicks bolted up, which are actually 27x10x15 stock car tires. Not bad for $30. I make my first run of the day, and it becomes my fastest time yet, 13.57 @ 100.6mph. Keep in mind this is at 4,100ft. So I hot lap it, stage, dump it at about 4000rpm, launches fairly good, and then during the 1-2 shift, it falls on its face, sputters, hesitates, and takes off. The rest of the way down the track I can feel it kicking and sputtering. Turn a 14.2 @ 97. So I dirve it around the pits for a few minutes and its doing the same thing. Throw the street tires on, take it on the highway, same thing. The 75 mile trip home, same thing. Whether its a little gas, or a lot of gas, any gear, any rpm, its sputters and hesitates.
Tonight after work I replace the plugs and wires. Gap the plugs at .35, Autolite 24's btw, and throw on a new set of wires. Take her for a ride, same thing. BTW, I also received my new sample tube from C&L today. Made sure I had one for 30's. Threw that on there with the plugs, and the same crap happens. Now its stalling at stop signs, and having problems starting back up, like its flooded. I have my 30lbs injectors in and running about 32psi so its not like I have a lot of fuel running in there.
Any help you guys can give me on this is greatly appreciated. I am open to any suggestions. I am supposed to go to the dyno this saturday in Tucson, but if its not running right, I am not going to try and drive the 300 miles to get on the dyno and have the car crap out on me.
Thanks
Chris
