Are you using your stock ecu? Any vacuum leaks? Any CELs? Have you checked ignition timing and cam timing? Is it smoking? Overheating? Coolant leaks?

Why is it built like this? It sounds like it's boosted.

Yea it was boosted I took the turbo Off manifold broke...and the tps an map sensor plug are on the rite spots.it happend when I was driving it so that's y I thought it was the fuel pump... it seems like it's starving it's self for gas when it starts acting up but it's not has great fuel pressur. Do you think maybe a relay is bad when it gets warm it makes it act up

Stock injectors and map...it's basically stock rite now has just a header on it and straight piped to a stock muffler do u think maybe the muffler is plugged... You no how a car runs with a plugged up converter on it that's what mine does when it acts up but it dies I don't have a converter on it tho I'm going to check the cell on it later the car not at my house

I am thinking coolant temp is broken and ECU sees cold even after it warms up causing it to flood,

These cars do not react well to non-OEM dizzys.

It sEems likes it's fuel problem when it acts up but it has a brand new walbro pump in it and I had the main relay checked by a buddy u think the stock injectors could be junk...it doesn't have any vacuum leaks but when it's cold and u first start it the gauge is only at like 14 but when it warms up it goes rite to 20 I don't no why never use to do that
