Dosent do it all the time,
Only sometimes under WOT.


If im driving normal theres no problems, When I get on it, Theres a feeling of hesitation and kinda like a very small misfire, its like the engine shakes and wobbles
Im thinking it might not be getting enough fuel,
all my upgrades are in my Sig but throughout it all ive kept the stock fuel pump and FPR.
Could that be it?
Or what about the TPS?

How exactly do you set the TPS again?

Really want this problem to go away

I looked at your sig and I didnt see a high volume fuel pump or adjustable fuel pressure regulator..I would say that might be your problem..

Id start put small, with a guage to monitor whats actually going on. It also wouldnt hurt to pick up a kirban regulator and fuel pump for the future, assuming that you do indeed have bigger plans down the line. It'll be a good wise investment and only set you back about 200.

Would this actually be my problem though?


Is it a fuel issue?
