Subject: 94 FMII Cutting out at high boost/rpm

 

  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!
