My car was running fine yesterday until I got home. I attempt to push on the throttle and notice it cut out (thinking maybe it was fuel cut). So I drove the car up the hill and seems to get worse, the more I push on the throttle it would just cut out.

As I was turning into my apartments the car dies. It took a couple of cranks to get it running again and it just sputtered the rest of the way, and then died when I parked it. WTF. I jumped in it today and still took a couple of cranks to start up and barely put my foot on the gas it died. My guess is maybe the fuel pump has gone out or the fuel filter is clogged up. Can anyone help? Thanks

do a fuel pressure test

did you upgrade your fuel pump? this happens to me once in a while and i noticed my walbro pump sometimes does not come "on". all i did was to shut if off for a few seconds and started it up again. i think it's a bad connection of my pump for the power source.

No, i'm still running the stock pump. Figured it's enough since it's stock.

pump is dead... almost gauranteed.

stock pump is plenty on stock boost... did u bypass the fuel computer? if not thats your answer.

How would I go about bypassing the fuel comp.

Its behind the drivers side passenger window. Take out the seat (3 bolts) and careuflly undo the panel. Hook the two big power wires together. Theres posts all over that get more detailed.

check your spark plugs they might be going bad with all that starting up, and check your fuel pressure before u star changing parts

I would check my fuel pressure before assuming anything else. It could be an electrical gremlin with the TPS or MAF voltages. Dont assume anything

you have to bypass the fuel computer on a 1JZGTE or 2JZGTE swapped SC300/400.

lets start with the basics.... make sure your not on empty, and make sure its not just bad gas.

Well I had a Soarer fuel pump when I bought my swap, tried it out and it started up, ran fine. Thanks for all your input, hope this helps someone in the future.
