im gonna start with the msd box, i will unplug it and see what happens, what is stock fuel pressure, cause this I never had an adjustable reg. til I got the heads, the lowest the fuel pressure will go is like 38 psi. I dont know wtf the problem is but i am not going to let it dollar me to death. I will say screw it and buy a performer rpm intake and a speed demon 650- you guys think that carb would be good for everyday driving. I am fed up will all of the variables involved in fuel injection.

Well if you think it is difficult to manage a FI car, than you are not up to the task of a carb! lol. It is probably something simple, just check the basics, what hasn't been checked in a while. Could be bad gas or something, clogged injectors, a bad coil, plugs, and the list goes on. You must pin-point the problem, have a diagnostic done, piece of cake, can't do that when there is somthing wrong on a carb'd car..

i havent had a chance yet due to my work schedule, does that sound like a stator, module, or coil problem. I hope its one of the 3, any of them would be a relatively easy fix, I like my f.i. and I want to keep it but like I said earlier, I am not going to let it dollar me to death- I have enough money invested already (too much)

the problem happens throughout the entire rpm range when it happens, while in gear driving and when i push the clutch in and rev it up, weird as hell. My fuel pressure was on 42, i cut it back to 38 but it made no diffrence cause it does the same sh*t at both pressures.
