Good call, as I've had issues with this in the past.   Not it this time though, 
as confirmed by datalog and corroborated by Jeremy at FM:  "Your ATS & CTS look 
fine. .."

That was actually the first thing I checked.

Checked the intake air temp sensor readings? My car has similar issues a
 few times in the past, the first time was the sensor itself, subsequent
 times the sensor's ground wire had a break in it. 
When it happened the air temp 
would go to 100, felt like you'd stomped on the brakes.

  Greets!  My 94 FMII car (installed circa 2000, RC550's, 12psi, BBBT, original 
fuel pump) is cutting out under high boost/high rpm conditions.  I sent a 
datalog to FM and Jeremy replied,

"Your ATS & CTS look fine. You've got plenty of injector 
on-time. So, if you're leaning out I'd have a look at your fuel pressure to see 
if your pump is bad or filter is clogged. Should be running around 35 psi at 
idle & around 45 psi if you pop the vacuum hose off the regulator. In boost 
it raises pressure 1:1. "  

I finally checked the pressure today and got 35 idle/44-ish with the vac source 
removed.  Max pressure (checked with the fuel line output blocked) was ~77psi.



I did notice that the behavior doesn't start immediately, but rather appears 
once the car is good and warmed up.

What's the next step?  I probably am due for a filter, but it seems somewhat 
unlikely that I'd get good numbers in the garage with a clogged filter, no?



All input welcome- thanks in advance!
