Author Topic: my !^%$@:"&*? car keeps cutting off yesIdid ¯ Member # 58 posted                              When I shift to neutral, when my rpms are around 2500-3000, from any gear-mostly 2nd and 4th-my car cuts off. I just replaced the IAC hoping that was the problem-NOPE!!! Also, this poblem isn't throwing any codes . Any ideas??

Yes, I do have gears and a Speedcal (elec. recalibration box). Soooooo. the Speedcal's to blame right? maybe?

So I just probably need a tune, but I don't want to get a tune; it seems like a waste of $ on a n/a car. If my connections look good, I'll get a tune. Thanks for the help boss .

Any mods that you've done put back to stock and see if that makes a difference...I'm not telling you to leave it that way and loose the hp you gained, but It's just a way to find out what's wrong with your car... It's called processes of elimination... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  :
