ok, i really need help on this one... i spent today at the mitsubishi dealership trying to figure out what the hell is wrong... they cleared all the codes from the computer and i insisted that i take a mechanic and we go for a ride... well- all was cool- and then the computer started wigging out again...the same problem...the car jerked...no/little response from the throttle...and then it died... we had trouble cranking it up...but we did... we checked some relays- they were fine... we swapped computers to see if that was the problem... with the new computer we could crank up just fine, but it was weird...when i got the revs to 5 grand (in neutral) i noticed no increase in fuel pressure...scared the crap out of me... also- everyone has been posting about the fuel pump saying it is loud as hell and annoying...i can't hear mine at all...do you think i got a bad pump? this is the first time this happened... also, there is another post about the wiring of the vc1... if i understand correctly, the vc1 only kicks in at like 5 grand because of the fuel cut- right? i'm not sure exactly how hocus wired it- but i'm going to talk with them and then see what's up with that... when we tried to pull the codes from both computers later- we couldn't establish any communication with either computer- odd. they were thinking that the computer might be over heating and then malfunctioning...could this be? i'm thinking of wrapping the downpipe in header tape and maybe fabricating a heat shield to get rid of this problem...or maybe wire in a small fan or something- how would the wiring work? i need any advice and any thoughts that you have... i have to figure this out... a new computer is 700 bucks- that is not an option right now... that's more of a last resort... i don't know...

Check the VC1 wiring. Almost sounds like you're getting fuel cut. What does it do at WOT ?

i don't think it's the vc1....i hooked mine up and it's not hard at all....i would think that if they could install a turbo they could install the vc1......i would look at that really quite fuel pump cause mine hums like a freaking bees nest....

yeah- hocus pocus in houston... i tried to ground the vc1- didn't help... wyatt is supposed to be sending me a new vc1... i asked him about the fuel pump- and he thinks everything should be cool... fuel pressure is always normal and it builds as soon as i hit boost... i just don't understand... we'll see what happens in a couple of days...
