Did you get it tuned after you installed a larger fuel pump?

Yes, why did you get a larger fuel pump? That is over kill for your application. The stock fuel pump is more than sufficient for a stock setup, which is pretty much what you have. Dollars to donuts, that's your problem.

You won't be able to tune unless you have a tunable ECU. I'd just put the stock fuel pump back in.

What made you think it was going bad? And if you changed it, it should've been with the same one. A 255lpg pump will deliver too much fuel to the engine, causing it to run rich, causing it to lose power. That is a pump that is recommended to run forced induction on 4 cylinder engines which require more fuel than the stock pump can deliver.

honestly i doubt thas my problem tho its too inconsistant and its killin me it seems to make like a electrical pinging noise once it loses power.I can be on the freeway at times when it could be fine then if i let my foot off the gas then press again the power is gone. I JUST DONT GET IT!
The car is about to see boost as soon as its starts back runnin right.

intermittent electrical problems are the WORST. It's really difficult to say what the problem is. But if you're going turbo then hang on to the 255lpg pump but definitely switch back to a stock spec pump until then.

try changing out ur main relay. they have been known to hsve weak soldering points. i had a similar problem that went away with a new relay. cleaning ur iacv isnt a bad idea and couldnt hurt, just make sure u remove the o-ring before u spray it with the cleaner. i used brake clean on my iacv two days ago and it shined like brand new. oh, and make sure ur air filter is clean as well. dirty filter = bad idle
