Sorry forgot to mention no codes and motor was purchased from hmotorsonline last spring stock replacement.bought the car that had blown motor which the previous owner had it turbocharged I just put it back to stock when I replaced motor along with stock ecu.not sure if they put a different fuel pump in it I haven’t checked that yet but not sure if that’s what it could be.
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s much I can do for you then :(. You could take it to a shop and pay them to diagnose it, but if it was my car…..
I would drive with the headlights on 24/7 🙂
Well I appreciate you trying to help looks like that’s what I’m going to have to to do just figured I post on here to see if anyone had any ideas before I take it to a garage.
2 things I’m thinking:
1) The Engine/Chassis/Battery Ground has to be solid and in minimally corroded.condition
2) Restricted coolant flow thru the throttle is a problem. You have a new throttle, but the supply hoses/pipes can also have obstructions.
There is also the chance of some butchered wiring related to a previous owner’s modifications, although a high performance fuel pump shouldn’t be part of it unless it or it’s installation is faulty.
