Car cutting out in between gears

[jesse dobbin]

So yesturday I was driving my car home from Brett's house and I was driving lightly (new clutch) and as I was shifting from third to fourth if I kept my clutch in to long the car would cut out and die but then start back up again when it was in gear (let go of the clutch) I got the car home went to work today tryed it out again same problem any ideas?

Light weight flywheel?

[jesse dobbin]

It's a stock flywheel

 I installed a lightweight chrome moly flywheel (lighter then stock). not as light as the aluminum ones, I think its around 10-11 lbs.
like I said before, could be the base idle settings needed to be adjusted.  (biss screw, special procedure to set it, check VFAQ)

also noted when working on the car that you have a 2G MAF with stock 450cc injectors with no sort of fuel management (that I know of)


this will make the car run all sorts of weird, run either super rich or lean, the 2g maf flows  more air then the stock 1g maf, so if you change it you have to go to 550ish cc injectors to make it run correctly.  Or you could use a MAFT or safc, or get a eprom ecu and tunerpro RT, or DSM link/jackel/werewolf  this could be causing most of the problems and is now more noticeable with the lighter flywheel

I'm trying to get a safc off Ryan's cuz I'll try all the things you texted me Saturday and see what happenes

Are you a ricer who vents to atmosphere and the metered air leaving the system is causing it to die?

If so - go to speed density or re-circ again.
