Okay I have recently replaced the alternator, battery, spark plugs, and retuned the car. Today I am driving I go to shift from 2nd to 3rd at 5k rpm's and the car dies. :dizzy: Not just losses power but dies completely. I am not sure why yet. I get a jump and the car starts running again. I however can not break 2k rpm's the car is misfiring horribly, I smell fuel, and it completely blacked out my plugs. I am thinking ignition coil due to the rough starts but I feel it has to be more. Anything else that could cause this ? I am ordering new NGK wires now. Any chance the motor might have lost compression ?

check those intercooler hose couplings first and check the maf to make sure it didnt disconnect itself.

A ton of work, but it's better, just need to order some wires and good to go.

That would make sense but that wasn't the case. I am just replacing and troubleshooting everything. The owner before me hacked the hell out of this car.
