so just to set the record straight, I have a pretty much stock blacktop sr20det.
I finally got it running yesterday, it ran just fine until it was warmed up.
the idle dropped to what I assume to be 500 rpm's. (my gauges aren't working at the moment so its just an estimate) and when I gave it a little gas the car sputters and acts like it wants to die. I decided to take it around the block to see how it drives and it would die if I didn't give it constant throttle. keep in mind that the car has been sitting for 6 months and still has the 87 octane I put in mid January... any clue what could be wrong? I replaced my fuel filter about 6 months ago and am running a wahlboro 255. I don't think the fuel is the issue but I could be wrong. someone please help!!!!
