Fuel Cut issue
Hi all,
I have just started experiencing the dreaded idle issue and am also getting fuel cut. The full details are posted in the Issues/Warranty/Recalls section here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49276 That section does not seem to get as quick as response as this one so I posted here because I wanted to have an idea of whats going on before I try to contact the dealer. The gist of it is I got idle problems, shaking and stalling after I installed Greddy Evo 3 catback, I reset the ECU and all was well for about a week. Today the idle came back and another issue, I get fuel cut in 2nd and 3rd gear under partial and full throttle. It feels like I push the gas pedal down and get no response and then all of a sudden at 4k it feels like normal and car accelerates as usual. Anyone experienced similar or know if this is related to the notorious idle issue so many people have had. I have AEM Intake, perrin overpipe and frontpipe, and as mentioned, once I added the Greddy fatback to the list this started happening within a week. Edit: Went for another drive after this happened and before I posted this and the idle issue has temporarily gone away, pretty sure it will come back though.

so I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine, he is a mechanic for mercedes and use to build really nice VW's. He's pretty knowledgable about modding cars and he mentioned this could be a tuning issue and said I might want to consider getting a tune for it. What do you guys think? It sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me but I don't know as much as I would like to about this stuff.

Dude i was just having this same problem except it made my check engine light come on. Its most likely the AEM intake. I think it was making my car run rich. I bypassed that dumbass ETI module(that im sure is defective) and I don't have any idle issues anymore. Idles right at 600 and stays there. Try that and see if it helps.

Just an update on this in case anyone else has similar issues and ends up reading this. I listened to what @Nickd123 had mentioned and bypassed the AEM module, only been driving for a few days so far but no idle issues or fuel cut.
