LOL let's be a little more descriptive. How about your car, year and model? And your wording is unclear, do you mean at WOT it stalls?

sorry. 03 gt, 5spd, lt headers, cai, o/r x pipe, chip, short thorw shifter, and pullies. and yea it only does it at WOT. like i said doesnt do it all the time, but every now and then at WOT it will just shut down. i have no clue what would cause that.

Does it start back up after it stalls? Does it seem to correlate with how fast(mph) your are going not just that you are accelerating? Possibly a fuel pump cutting out? That does seem a bit odd??? Any other information that might help?

Fuel Filter could be clogged up, when you slam to WOT it starves and shuts off.

Wouldn't that be a more consistent occurrence though if that was the issue?

fuel filter was changed prob 30k miles ago.

yes if i power the car completely off, it wil start again after it stalls. i dont pay to much attention to it, so i dont know if it does it as im shifting or before i need to shift. but does it not really based off of speed, but more of rpm's, if that makes sense.

anyone?

Well I would think it is a fuel supply issue if it is truly stalling not just missing or bogging. Maybe your Fuel pump is going out. PM cliff lol, he might know.

well do. yea it did it 2 more times, but this time it died when i dropped my brother off at work. had it in 1st with foot on clutch and brake (when he was getting out of the car) both times and it died.
