turbotime

Hey im not sure if this is normal or not, if i start the car, and then try to get into boost/higher rpms, i am getting some type of fuel/spark cutoff action.

Just now i left from school, and my car was still warm from when i parked it (~2hrs prior), so i take it easy out of the parking lot but there is this stretch before the main road and i get into some 2nd gear boost (at this point temp is showing as operating temp) and for some reason right around 5k the ecu will cut fuel, spark, or fuel and spark.

After another minute or so it doesnt happen, its almost like a safety or something so that you cant rap it out too soon after starting... the car doesnt die or anything but i will be on the gas and it will just cut out. A few minutes later, it works fine..?

Any ideas what this is? Is this normal? it only happens for about <2min after starting up...

Sounds to me like your car isnt warm yet, and you may be running really rich

Mine does that until it warms up..just give it time and stay off the throttle until then
