car dies flat on its face...??
well..... like the title says my car dies whenever i step on the gas? it turns on fine and the motor seems to shake a lil more then normal and it revs up to 1500 rpm and when i press on the gas it pops,bogs and dies immediately... i noticed that my fuel gauge is readin about 58 psi and i tried to lower it down but it i cant cuz the i already twisted the needle ALL the way to the left! im hoping this is my problem because im only runing a stock ls/vtec and from what i know it should only be putting about 40 psi! any sugg will be apreciated!

do u have cam gears on the car by any chance? Did this just happen one morning? It sounds like your car is off timing...but it could be a million other things, But i would check that first.

pull your valve cover off(if u cant see ur cam gears with it on.) check the cam timing. It sounds like your screw may have come loose, and the cams are fully retarted. Adjust them, TORQUE them dwn. Then u should be riding good again.
